Round 8: Tossup 20

A “power-compensated” form of this technique uses negative feedback to maintain isothermal sample and reference crucibles. (10[1])A method for determining ligand binding affinities combines titration with this technique. (10[1])Peaks generated by this (-5[1])technique’s “differential scanning” type indicate phase transitions. The equation [read slowly] “q equals C-sub-V times delta T” can be used with this technique to determine (10[1])enthalpy change. This technique (10[1])can be performed with two nested Styrofoam (10[1])cups (10[1])to determine whether a process is exothermic or endothermic. For 10 points, identify this technique whose “bomb” type can be used to measure the heat flows associated with a chemical reaction. ■END■ (0[1])
