Description
Utilizing a unique rotating sample cell and a precise microprocessor-based thermometer, the Parr 6755 Solution Calorimeter provides a moderately priced and easily operated instrument for measuring:
- Heats of Reactions
- Heats of Mixing
- Heats of Solution
- Heats of Dilution
- Heats of Wetting
Measurements are made at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure in either liquid-liquid or liquid-solid systems covering energy changes ranging from 2 to 1000 calories. All operations are straightforward and simple, using a menu driven touch screen display. Precise temperature measurements are shown on a bright, color, display and outputs are provided for a printer, computer or Ethernet style network (LAN) connection. Real-time plotting on the LCD screen eliminates the need for a strip chart recorder.
As a research instrument it offers a convenient and rapid means for obtaining basic chemical data with a precision that will be adequate for most preliminary research and exploratory applications.
As an analytical tool it has many applications in industrial laboratories for product evaluation and quality control. Such applications may extend beyond the range of pure calorimetry to include tests in which there is a direct relationship between the heat of reaction and a chemical or physical property of the reactants in a system.
As a teaching instrument it has an important place in college and university laboratories for demonstrating and teaching the fundamentals of thermochemistry in a student laboratory.
