Calorimetry is a technique for measuring the heat generated or lost in a chemical reaction. The reaction is carried out in such a way that as much as possible of the heat change is transferred to another material, raising its temperature. The heat generated can then be calculated from the amount of the material heated and its specific heat. Found on http://www.encyclo.co.uk/local/20046
