The basic calorimeter consists of two vessels - the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The air between both vessels act as a heat insulator, ensuring that heat is not exchanged between the contents of the inner and outer vessels. The calorimeter is also equipped with a thermometer and a stirrer.

Explanation:
- The basic calorimeter consists of two vessels - the outer vessel and the inner vessel. The air between both vessels act as a heat insulator, ensuring that heat is not exchanged between the contents of the inner and outer vessels. The calorimeter is also equipped with a thermometer and a stirrer.
- Calorimeter, device for measuring the heat developed during a mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction, and for calculating the heat capacity of materials.
- Calorimeters have been designed in great variety. One type in widespread use, called a bomb calorimeter, basically consists of an enclosure in which the reaction takes place, surrounded by a liquid, such as water, that absorbs the heat of the reaction and thus increases in temperature. Measurement of this temperature rise and a knowledge of the weight and heat characteristics of the container and liquid permits the total amount of heat generated to be calculated.
