Thermochemistry Concepts and Calculations

What does the 'm' represent in the formula q = mCAT?

• Mass in grams

• Molarity of solution

• Mass in kilograms

• Moles of substance

Why is it important to check the units before using the calorimetry formula?

• To make the process faster

• To use different formulas

• To avoid calculation errors

• To ensure the formula is correct

In Example 1, what is the significance of the term 'released' in the context of heat?

• It indicates the heat is positive

• It suggests the heat is negative

• It shows the heat is constant

• It means the heat is absorbed
