Question

An equation that uses a form of this technique to determine kinetic parameters contains the constant intercept term [read slowly] “log of the pre-exponential factor times R over activation energy” and is named for Homer Kissinger. A form of this technique used to analyze protein solutions involves applying perturbations of 5 atmospheres. It’s not chromatography, but noise in this technique can be suppressed using a nitrogen and argon-based “purge” gas. The results of a form of (10[1])this technique are characterized by a “c-value” proportional (10[1])to binding affinity. Glass transitions can be quantified using a form of this technique that measures the difference in heating rate between two pans called its (10[1])“differential scanning” type. For 10 points, what technique is done in classroom labs by heating a sample in a coffee (10[1]0[1])cup? ■END■

ANSWER: calorimetry [accept differential scanning calorimetry or isothermal titration calorimetry or pressure perturbation calorimetry]
