A method using green coffee fruits (GFs) was developed to test the toxicity of insecticides against the coffee berry borer (CBB). Insecticides or toxic substances were applied to disinfected GFs before or after CBB infestation. Insect mortality, repellency, and reproductive capacity, in addition to other parameters, were evaluated.

Constant Pressure Calorimetry

Calorimetry is a technique used to measure the amount of heat involved in a chemical or physical process or to measure the heat transferred to or from a substance. The heat is exchanged with a calibrated and insulated device called the calorimeter. Calorimetry experiments are based on the assumption that there is no heat exchange between the insulated calorimeter and the external environment. The well-insulated calorimeters prevent the transfer of heat between the calorimeter and its external...

FAQs
At approximately constant atmospheric pressure, the heat transferred by the reaction is related to its enthalpy change rather than only to a change in internal energy. The measured temperature change is used to determine the solution’s heat change, and the reaction is assigned the opposite value under the assumption that the solution captures the reaction’s thermal effect.
A temperature increase indicates that the solution gained heat, so the reaction released heat and is classified as exothermic. A temperature decrease shows that the solution lost heat to the process, indicating an endothermic reaction. The direction of the temperature change therefore provides both a qualitative classification and the sign of the calculated reaction heat.
The solution’s mass, specific heat capacity, and temperature change determine its heat change through q = mcΔT. A larger mass or greater specific heat corresponds to more heat required for the same temperature shift, while the magnitude and direction of ΔT control the amount and sign. These quantities connect the observed temperature response to reaction enthalpy.
Place the reactants in a nested polystyrene cup, mix them, and record the resulting temperature change. Use the solution’s mass, specific heat capacity, and measured temperature difference to calculate the heat gained or lost by the solution. The reaction heat is then interpreted from that solution value while treating heat exchange with the surroundings as minimal.
This approach is useful for acid-base neutralization, dissolution, combustion-related reactions, and other physical or chemical processes that produce a measurable temperature change. It is especially suited to chemistry education and laboratory studies where a straightforward estimate of heat transfer or reaction enthalpy is needed without a more elaborate calorimetric setup.
Calculated reaction enthalpies provide quantitative thermal information that can be compared across related chemical processes. Measurements from neutralization, dissolution, or combustion-related experiments can help examine how different reactions release or absorb heat. In this way, the method connects direct temperature observations with broader thermochemical relationships studied in chemistry.
