NOMENCLATURE OF THERMOMETRIC AND ENTHALPIMETRIC METHODS IN CHEMICAL-ANALYSIS - (IUPAC RECOMMENDATIONS 1994)

This report defines the scope of enthalpimetric analysis within the general field of calorimetry and also delineates it as distinct from the methods of thermal analysis for solid materials. Enthalpimetric analysis is defined as a variant of calorimetry in which the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction is measured in order to perform a relatively rapid quantitative determination of an analyte, and in which at least one reactant is a liquid or solution. Nomenclature is recommended for variations of the methodology in which the reaction is carried out as a titration, as a batch reaction, in flowing streams, or as an injection into flowing streams.
