There are two main types of calorimetry: constant-pressure calorimetry and constant-volume calorimetry. Constant-pressure calorimetry is the most common type, where the reaction occurs at constant pressure, and the heat transfer is measured. Constant-volume calorimetry, on the other hand, measures the heat transfer at constant volume.
Molar mass C₂H₅OH = (2×12) + (6×1) + 16 = 46 g/mol Moles = 0.25 / 46 = 0.005434 mol
