Round 6: Tossup 20

A “power-compensated” form of this technique uses negative feedback to maintain isothermal sample and reference crucibles. A method for determining ligand binding affinities combines titration (10[1])with this technique. Peaks generated by this technique’s “differential scanning” type indicate phase transitions. The equation [read slowly] “q (-5[1])equals C-sub-V (10[1])times delta T” can be used with this technique to determine enthalpy change. (10[1])This technique can be performed (10[1])with two nested Styrofoam cups (10[1])to determine whether a process (10[1])is exothermic (10[2])or endothermic. (10[1])For 10 points, identify this technique whose “bomb” type can be used to measure the heat flows associated with a chemical reaction. ■END■
