The specific heat of water is different from the specific heat of ice and so 'wet ice' into a calorimeter experiment can increase the mass of water in the calorimeter and become a source of unaccuracy.

A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Bomb calorimeters have to withstand the large pressure within the calorimeter as the reaction is being measured. Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter. When the air is escaping through the copper tube it will also heat up the water outside the tube. The temperature of the water allows for calculating the calorie content of the fuel.[ or kilojoules if using those units]
to prevent water from entering the calorimeter and allow only the gas.
The brass needs to be immersed in the boiling water for a sufficient enough time that its temperature is the same as the boiling water, 100 degrees Celsius. That will be the initial temperature of the brass. After it is quickly placed in the calorimeter which will contain much cooler water, causing the brass to cool down and the water to heat up until the point where the temperature no longer changes. At that point the temperature of the brass is the same temperature as the water in the calorimeter, which is its final temperature of the brass.

A calorimeter comes in different forms, but it is a device that allows you to contain a substance and burn it. The released energy from the compound is then released within the calorimeter, and through changes in temperature of the calorimeter and water that usually surrounds the substance, scientists can calculate the joules of energy released by the substance which will be near equivalent except for lost energy to the total energy contained within a substance. This is how you get calorie measurements in the food you eat. A sample calorimetry test is done and applied to all the same type of food.
Water is an excellent material to use in a calorimeter because it has a very high specific heat, making it very hard for water to raise its temperature even by 1 degree celsius, but as hard as it was to raise the temperature of the water, it is equally as hard to lower the temperature of the water-making it able to effectively retain heat and allowing the other material inside of the calorimeter to absorb that heat.

Measure the heat given up to the water by another substance
