Heat conduction calorimeters: time constants, sensitivity and fast titration experiments.
Seven heat conduction calorimeters have been evaluated in terms of sensitivity and thermal response time. The use of a dynamic method to correct for the thermal inertia of the calorimeter is shown to reduce by one order of magnitude the time required to conduct a stepwise titration experiment involving a fast reaction. The ability to determine association constants of strong 1:1 complexes has been evaluated in terms of the precision of determining thermal energy.
