Description
a device used in chemistry and physics to measure heat changes during a reaction. This specific type appears to be a double-wall calorimeter with a heating coil and terminals for electrical connections.
Features
Function: Measures the amount of heat absorbed or released during a chemical or physical reaction. Key components: It typically includes an insulated container, a lid with holes for a thermometer and stirrer, and a heating coil. Use case: It is commonly used in educational settings for heat experiments in school laboratories. Related terms: The process of using a calorimeter is called calorimetry.
