Calorimeter Calculator
🔥 Thermochemistry & Bonding. Use the Calorimeter formula to find heat, calorimeter constant, temperature change: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Heat | J |
| Calorimeter constant | J/°C |
| Temperature change | °C |
Worked example
Find the heat when Calorimeter constant = 1000 J/°C, Temperature change = 5 °C.
Using qcal = CcalΔ T: Heat = 5000 J.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Calorimeter?
qcal = CcalΔ T.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Heat in J, Calorimeter constant in J/°C, Temperature change in °C.
How do you calculate heat?
Put the values into qcal = CcalΔ T. For example, with Calorimeter constant = 1000 J/°C, Temperature change = 5 °C, heat = 5000 J.
Can I solve for a different value?
Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (heat, calorimeter constant, temperature change) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
