For many reactions, such as those occurring in solution, it is easy Styrofoam cu o control pressure so that AH is measured directly. Although the calorimeters used for instead of just wy accurate work are precision instruments, a simple “coffee-cup calorimeter URE 5.18) is often used in general chemistry laboratories to illustrate the princi- orimetry.
