Question

How is the loss of heat due to radiation minimised in a calorimeter???

Answer 1

Also, avoid having too large temperature differences between the calorimeter and its surroundings. ... o Use of a highly polished calorimeter reduces heat loss by radiation. o Use of a lid on the calorimeter reduces heat losses by convection and evaporation.
