About This Product
A measured quantity of water goes into the calorimeter, a heated specimen is added and the lid closed, and the contents are stirred while the temperature rises to a steady value. From the masses and the temperature change students calculate the heat transferred, a practical check on conservation of energy.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the thermometer used with the Water Calorimeter 350 ml?
It is inserted through the lid or opening to record the initial water temperature and then the final steady temperature after the heated specimen is added and stirred.
