Answer» Explanation:Steps to follow for the construction of calorimeter are as FOLLOWS. ● 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. A figure of calorimeter is given below. |
