styrofoam cup calorimeter lab report
A calorimeter is composed of an insulated container, a thermometer, a mass of water, and the system to be studied. The use of an insulated container (Styrofoam cup in this experiment) allows us to assume that there is no heat transferred through the calorimeter walls. calorimeter is composed of an insulated container, a thermometer, a mass of water, and the system to be studied.
