Round 8: 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 with this technique. Peaks (10[1])generated by this technique’s “differential scanning” (-5[1])type indicate phase transitions. (-5[2])The equation [read slowly] “q equals C-sub-V times delta T” can be used with this technique to determine enthalpy change. This technique can be performed with two nested Styrofoam cups (10[1]-5[1])to determine whether a process is (10[1])exothermic or endothermic. For 10 points, identify this technique whose “bomb” type can be used to (10[1])measure the heat flows associated with a chemical reaction. ■END■ (10[2])
