How is calorimetry related to the law of conservation of energy?

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed but remains constant in a given system. Therefore, wouldn't calorimetry make use of it because the energy gained/lost by the water would cancel out the energy lost/gained by the substance and result in no change overall?

∙ 7y agoIn calorimetry, one is looking at the transfer of heat energy. It must be true that the heat lost by one component is equal to the heat gained by another component. This is essentially conservation of energy. Of course, in real life, some of the heat energy will be lost to the surroundings, and this, too, must be taken into account in the consideration of the total energy.

On what principle does calorimetry depends?
law of conservation of energy.
Which law states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed?
This law is known mainly with two different names: "Law of Conservation of Energy", or "First Law of Thermodynamics".
The law of conservation of energy states that when one form of energy is converted to another?
The law of conservation of energy says that energy is neither created nor destroyed only changed. It works hand in hand with the law of conservation of matter, because matter can be converted to energy and vice versa.
What are two statements you can make about energy based on the law of conservation of energy?
the law of conservation of energy?
What is meant by conservation of mass and energy?
Law of mass conservation in chemistry: in a chemical reaction the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.Law of energy conservation: in a closed system the energy remain constant.
On what principle does calorimetry depends?
law of conservation of energy.
How are energy transformation related to the law of conservation of energy?
o
How are energy transformations related to law of conservation of energy?
it changes forms and energy can not be created or destroyed
The first law of thermodynamics is related to the conservation of which quantity?
Yes. There are no known exceptions - otherwise it would not be considered a law
What law of the scientific rule states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
The law of Conversation of Energy
What law says in chemical change energy is neither created or destroyed?
Scientists call this law the law of conservation of matter
Law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
The law of Conservation of Energy. Actually, that law has been superceded now by a slightly different one. Recently (maybe 100 years ago) it was learned that energy can become mass and mass can become energy. So the law had to be modified to say that the total combination of mass and energy can't be created or destroyed.
What law of thermodynamics states that different forms of energy can be converted into one another?
That's related to the First Law of Thermodynamics - the Law of Conservation of Energy.
The first law of thermodynamics which is closely related to the law of conservation of energy states that?
energy can be transformed in different ways but can never be created or destroyed.
Of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation?
The 1st Law of thermodynamics is a restatement of the law of conservation of energy.
What states have energy laws that state that energy can not be created or destroyed?
Law of conservation of energy. Energy can't be created or destroyed is the basic statement of the law of conservation of energy.
Why the law of conservation of energy can mean that you do not have unlimited sources of energy?
That is because the law of conservation of energy states that you can not create new energy.
