Calorimetry is used to measure the amount of heat exchanged in the chemical or physical process. It is used to determine the heat transferred from or to a substance. It is useful in determining latent heat, specific heat, and energy changes in reactions. The principle is based on the law of conservation of energy, stating that in an isolated system, the hotter object's heat lost is exactly equal to the cooler one's heat gained, provided there is no exchange of heat with surroundings.
