Energy Measure Organic Matter Change Explain Experimentally Content

To measure the energy content of organic matter, burn it and measure the temperature change; from this, the enthalpy change can be found, indicating the energy within the matter.

Per misurare il contenuto energetico della materia organica, bruciarla e misurare la variazione di temperatura; da questo si può ricavare la variazione entalpica, che indica l'energia contenuta nella materia.

Front Explain how to experimentally measure the energy content of organic matter.
Back Measuring energy content:
  • Burn the organic matter and measure temperature change
  • Using this, find the enthalpy change which will show the energy in the matter
