Question

Describe in detail an experiment using only hot and cold water that would enable you to verify that the heat capacity of your coffee cup calorimeter is about 1.0•10 j/C. Be specific about the procedure you would follow and the calculations you would need to perform. Describe in detail an experiment using only hot and cold water that would enable you to verify that the heat capacity of your coffee cup calorimeter is about 1.0•10 j/C. Be specific about the procedure you would follow and the calculations you would need to perform.

Explanation / Answer

The heat absorbed by the coffee cup calorimeter is the difference in the heat lost by the hot water and the heat absorbed by the cold water.

The calorimeter constant thus is the heat absorbed by the calorimeter divided by the change in temperature so the unit would be J/oC.
