A calorimeter is used to keep heat contained in a single place as the calorimeter absorbs very little heat and the amount it absorbs can easily be calculated. To use the calorimeter heat the liquid you want (or cool) and place it in the calorimeter cup and put that in the calorimeter and place the lid on top and the thermometer in the thermometer's hole. There you go. Simple as that. A calorimeter is used to keep heat contained in a single place as the calorimeter absorbs very little heat and the amount it absorbs can easily be calculated.

What is the principle of Bunsen calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter is heat combustion
Who discovered Calorimeter?
A calorimeter is an instrument that measures the amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction. The first ice-calorimeter was used by Antoine Lavoisier and Pierre-Simon Laplace, in the winter of 1782-83 .
Why is it unnecessary to know the mass of the calorimeter apparatus to determined heat capacity?
Improvised or not, the calorimeter takes up some of the heat released. The mass of the calorimeter container determines the amount of heat taken up
What are the factors that affect a calorimeter?
its temp
Why does a calorimeter have a doubled- walled container?
so that the calorimeter can keep in the heat of the liquid in for an accurate measurment of the change in temperature.
What are the different types of calorimeters?
Bomb calorimeter and coffee-cup calorimeter. Both useful, however, the bomb calorimeter is better to use if you're measuring deltaH of a gas
What is biological use of calorimeter?
to measure the heat output of a reaction
How does the industry use calorimeter?
In essence; a calorimeter can be used to measure the calorific value of any fuel, used in any industry. See the link below.
What kind of cups would you use to make calorimeter?
Styrofoam Cup
What kind of cup would you use to make a calorimeter?
Styrofoam Cup
What is the measuring device for thermal energy?
You can measure thermal energy by using a thermal couple. <ZeldaTutor> or u can use a calorimeter <ZeldaTutor>
What is the principle of Bunsen calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter is heat combustion
Can Energy be measured directly with a calorimeter?
Yes energy can be measured directly with a calorimeter. The calorimeter will measure the temperature as it changes in a reaction.
Why do you use aluminium foils in calorimeter?
To make sure whatever you wrap is good enough.
What tool should people use to measure melting ice with salt?
A calorimeter and a thermometer.
Construction of separating calorimeter for steam quality measurement?
Separating calorimeter advantages
Why 1000c thermometer is used in bomb calorimeter why not 100c?
bcoz of space in the calorimeter....
