Answer to Problem 4E

The process of measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical reaction is known as calorimetry.

Explanation of Solution

Calorie is a unit of energy. Food calorie means the amount of energy we get from our food. To measure food calorie, the amount of energy released when food reacts with oxygen, that is, combustion reaction needs to be calculated. The science of measuring released or absorbed energy in a chemical reaction or physical change is termed as calorimetry.

Conclusion

Calorimetry is a process to measure heat energy of a reaction.
