Chemistry


So we just learned about calculating calories recently. ( Calorimetry)

Wikipedia helped me learn how to calculate. It is not that hard, but you have to have some common sense too.


The world’s first ice-calorimeter, used in the winter of 1782-83, by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre-Simon Laplace, to determine the heat evolved in various chemical changes; calculations which were based on Joseph Black’s prior discovery of latent heat. These experiments mark the foundation of thermochemistry.
