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 this technique are characterized by a “c-value” proportional to binding affinity. Glass transitions can be quantified using a form of this technique (10[1])that measures the difference in heating rate (10[1])between two pans called its “differential (10[3])scanning” type. For (10[1])10 points, (10[1])what technique is done in (10[1])classroom labs by heating (-5[1])a sample in a coffee (10[2]0[1])cup? ■END■

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