In chemistry the transfer of heat (H) in reactions is illustrated by the Greek letter delta in front of H (ΔH). Heat can be released into the system (exothermic) or absorbed from it into the reaction's product.
Calorimetry refers to the process of determining the changes in energy of a system by measuring the heat exchanged with the surroundings. A triangle usually denotes the heat transferred by the water in the calorimeter.
Total heat is usually represented by the capital letter Q. A differential amount of heat is usually represented with a lower case letter q. When we are talking "specific heat", i.e. energy per unit mass or per mole, we usually add a carat ^ above the q.
A chemical equation is defined as the short-hand representation of a true chemical reaction with the help of symbols and formula.when heat is absorbed reaction is endothermic .The heat is represented by a triangle which is called delta in a chemical equation.

The specific heat of water is different from the specific heat of ice and so 'wet ice' into a calorimeter experiment can increase the mass of water in the calorimeter and become a source of unaccuracy.

A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Bomb calorimeters have to withstand the large pressure within the calorimeter as the reaction is being measured. Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter. When the air is escaping through the copper tube it will also heat up the water outside the tube. The temperature of the water allows for calculating the calorie content of the fuel.[ or kilojoules if using those units]
to prevent water from entering the calorimeter and allow only the gas.
The brass needs to be immersed in the boiling water for a sufficient enough time that its temperature is the same as the boiling water, 100 degrees Celsius. That will be the initial temperature of the brass. After it is quickly placed in the calorimeter which will contain much cooler water, causing the brass to cool down and the water to heat up until the point where the temperature no longer changes. At that point the temperature of the brass is the same temperature as the water in the calorimeter, which is its final temperature of the brass.
The aq denotes that water is present. Latin word Aqua means water.

Water and the Calorimeter.
You need to stir the water because the heat energy coming off whatever you put into the calorimeter (whether it be food, metal, etc.) won't evenly distribute its heat throughout the water, and therefore the temperature reading won't be as accurate. If you stir it, the heat will be more evenly "mixed in" with the water, so to speak, and you will get a more accurate reading.

Water is an excellent material to use in a calorimeter because it has a very high specific heat, making it very hard for water to raise its temperature even by 1 degree celsius, but as hard as it was to raise the temperature of the water, it is equally as hard to lower the temperature of the water-making it able to effectively retain heat and allowing the other material inside of the calorimeter to absorb that heat.
