Calorimeter, device for measuring the heat developed during a mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction, and for calculating the heat capacity of materials.
How did the calorimeter work?
A calorimeter measures the change in heat. Simple calorimeters are made with a metal container of water, positioned above a combustion chamber. ... The calorimeter measures the mass of the liquid along with the temperature change, to determine the amount of energy change.
Does the calorimeter absorb heat?
Ideally, the components of the calorimeter would absorb no heat, but the components of the calorimeters always absorb some energy from the system. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is the quantity of heat absorbed by the calorimeter for each 1°C rise in temperature.
