Abstract
Most processes (whether physical, chemical, or biological) produce or consume heat: measuring thermal power (the heat production rate) is therefore a typical method of studying processes. Here we describe the design of a simple isothermal heat conduction calorimeter built for use in teaching; we also provide an example of its use in simultaneously determining the rate constant and the reaction enthalpy of the first-order base hydrolysis of propyl parabene.

Lars Wadsö and Yujing Li, Xi LiJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (1), 101-105Isothermal Titration Calorimetry in the Student Laboratory
Lars Wadsö and Yujing Li, Xi LiJournal of Chemical Education2011 88 (1), 101-105Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) is the measurement of the heat produced by the stepwise addition of one substance to another. It is a common experimental technique, for example, in pharmaceutical science, to measure equilibrium constants and ...
