Question

Why is the calorimeter made of copper?

Answer 1

heya answer is here...

♧Copper is a good conductor of heat.

♧Cu has low SHC & thus it reaches the equilibrium temperature quickly by absorbing a small amount of heat. ... This makes sure calorimeter absorbs or liberates a small amount of heat during the heat exchange.

hope it helps u dear....

Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Calorimeter -

• Calorimeter is instrument used to measure heat transferred during a process.
• Types of calorimeter - bomb calorimeter, constant pressure, calorimeter.

● Calorimeter is made of copper because -

• Copper is good conductor of heat.
• Copper has very low specific heat capacity.
• Negligible heat is absorbed/released to by thin copper wall.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
