Round 7: 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 generated by this technique’s “differential scanning” type indicate phase transitions. (-5[1])The equation [read slowly] “q equals C-sub-V times (10[1])delta T” can be used with this technique to determine enthalpy change. (10[1])This technique can be performed with two nested Styrofoam cups (10[2])to determine (10[1])whether a process is exothermic or endothermic. For (10[1])10 points, identify this technique whose “bomb” (10[1])type can be used to measure the heat flows associated with a chemical reaction. ■END■ (10[1])
