Question

Instruments used for one form of this technique plot the power needed to equilibrate a reference cell and a sample cell. Binding between metals and ligands as well as interactions between small molecules and proteins can be studied using this technique’s isothermal (10[1])titration variant. This technique, which also has a differential scanning form, utilizes the equation (read slowly) “q equals C-sub-V times delta (10[1])T.” Styrofoam cups are used in (10[1])a common classroom demonstration of this (10[1])technique’s “bomb” (10[1])type, which can determine whether reactions are endothermic or exothermic. For 10 points, name this technique that measures changes in heat during chemical reactions. ■END■

ANSWER: calorimetry [accept bomb calorimetry or differential scanning calorimetry or isothermal titration calorimetry; prompt on DSC or ITC]
