The sample is added, the temperature is measured again, and the desired quantity latent heat or specific heat is calculated. Since this device is capable of measuring various changes, such as heat, temperature and pressure that can take place during chemical reactions, it is widely. Soda can calorimeter continued 3 21 flinn sientifi n ll igt eered sample data table student data may vary. The process of measuring this heat is called calorimetry. There is also a facility for stirring the contents of the vessel. By making the vessel removable and by removing the cooling of the vessel from the calorimeter, the speed of each determination is greatly increased once the result is obtained for a determination, the hot vessel can be removed and cooled in a separate unit. Most particles enter the calorimeter and initiate a particle shower and the particles energy is deposited in the calorimeter, collected, and measured.
