Answer:

A constant-pressure calorimeter measures the change in enthalpy of a reaction occurring in a liquid solution. ... The heat transferred to/from the solution in order for the reaction to occur is equal to the change in enthalpy (ΔH=qP Δ H = q P ), and a constant-pressure calorimeter thus measures this heat of reaction.
