Heat capacity of the calorimeter

Principle

The same quantities of hot and cold water are mixed. The hot water is always poured into a calorimeter containing cold water (room temperature). The measurements are repeated three times and the calorimeter's heat capacity is then calculated as the average value of the three measurements.

Benefits

• Real stand material for an esecially stable and safe setup
• Own construction of a calorimeter deepens the understanding
• Student-suitable experiment descriptions with reports available
