Heat conduction microcalorimetry offers an important technique in the context of physical organic chemistry for the study of chemical reactions in solution. The thermodynamic basis of the technique is discussed. Model reaction schemes are used in an examination of the dependence on time of the rate of heat production. The impact of rate constants and enthalpies of reaction on the recorded dependence is reviewed for first‐ and second‐order reactions. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
