Calorimeters need to be well insulated as calorimetry relies on the fact that temperature change only occurs within the solution and that no heat escapes to the surroundings. Thes best are which most insulated or is made of a good insulator. Polystyrene coffee cups makes excellent calorimeters because their ability to block the passage of heat.

What are the limitations of separating calorimeter?
No limitations
What instrument measures heat energy?
UV vis spec, IR spec, FTIR, Raman, NMR, Mass spec, if it can be isolated you can go down the route of GC and LC (maybe even CE, but these are linked to detectors that may include the former. It depends really what you are looking for and on what timescale (i.e. stable or transient species)
Will the recorded temperature change for an exothermic reaction performed in a glass calorimeter be greater or less that?
The recorded temperature change for an exothermic reaction performed in a glass calorimeter is less than the Styrofoam cup calorimeter. This is because the glass will conduct heat away more than the Styrofoam.

Why might flexibility and open mindedness be desirable qualities in a scientist?
creativity is important
Why is it important to determine the q calorimeter before determining the q metal?
Determining the q calorimeter (heat capacity of the calorimeter) is important because it allows for accurate calculations of the heat gained or lost by the calorimeter during an experiment. This value is then used to correct the heat measurements for the system (q metal) being studied, ensuring the heat transfer calculations are precise. Without accounting for the q calorimeter, the heat measurements for the system may be inaccurate.
Why is it important to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter and how does it impact the accuracy of calorimetry experiments?
Determining the heat capacity of a calorimeter is important because it helps in accurately measuring the heat exchanged in a calorimetry experiment. The heat capacity of the calorimeter affects the accuracy of the experiment because it determines how much heat is absorbed or released by the calorimeter itself, which can lead to errors in the calculated heat transfer between substances being studied. By knowing the heat capacity of the calorimeter, scientists can make adjustments to ensure more precise and reliable results in calorimetry experiments.
What is the formula for calculating the heat capacity of a calorimeter?
The formula for calculating the heat capacity of a calorimeter is Q C T, where Q is the heat absorbed or released by the calorimeter, C is the heat capacity of the calorimeter, and T is the change in temperature of the calorimeter.
Where can you buy a calorimeter?
You can buy a calorimeter from scientific suppliers, lab equipment retailers, or online marketplaces that specialize in laboratory equipment. It is important to ensure that the calorimeter meets your specific needs and requirements for your experiments.

Why 1000c thermometer is used in bomb calorimeter why not 100c?
bcoz of space in the calorimeter....
How do you use a calorimeter?
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.

How should a thermometers be positioned in the calorimeter lid?
The thermometer should be positioned in the center of the calorimeter lid, making sure it is not touching the sides or bottom of the calorimeter. This ensures an accurate measurement of the temperature changes happening inside the calorimeter during an experiment.
In calculating the heat given off by a reaction in a calorimeter you must account for heat absorbed by?
In calculating the heat given off by a reaction in a calorimeter, you must account for heat absorbed by the surroundings, including the calorimeter itself, any water or solution in the calorimeter, and the air around the calorimeter that may be affected by the reaction. This ensures an accurate measurement of the heat released or absorbed by the reaction itself.
How can one propose a method to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter?
To propose a method to determine the heat capacity of a calorimeter, one can conduct an experiment where a known amount of heat is added to the calorimeter and the resulting temperature change is measured. By using the equation Q mcT, where Q is the heat added, m is the mass of the calorimeter, c is the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter, and T is the temperature change, the heat capacity of the calorimeter can be calculated. This method allows for the determination of the heat capacity of the calorimeter by analyzing the relationship between the heat added and the resulting temperature change.
Where can you get a calorimeter?
Fisher Scientific has them.
