Question{ explain the construction of a calorimeter.Draw the necessary figure}

Answer 1

Answer:

Construction of calorimeter

● Calorimeter consists of an inner vessel and outer vessel. No heat transfer between these vessels.

● The inner vessel is made up of copper.

● A thermometer (for measuring temperature) and a stirrer (for stirring liquid) are attached to the inner vessel.

● Water is kept in calorimeter such that inner vessel and water have the same temperature.

● The hot substance is kept at water such that water, calorimeter, and hot substance will be at the same temperature.

● Works on the principle that heat lost by hot substance must be equal to heat energy gained by water and calorimeter.
