just trying to get my head around heat capacity here for an experiment;
if conducting a reaction in an adiabatic vessel, of which its material has a finite heat capacity, does this mean that if sufficient heat is produced within the vessel (through a chemical reaction), that the adiabatic assumption will no longer apply because heat will be transferred outside of the vessel?
if that's true, how could you correct for the errors that may arise in the adiabatic assumption?
