Non-combustion/ Constant Pressure Calorimeter Construction and Testing Lab: Objective: To design and test a calorimeter that meets the following guidelines: -produces reliable, consistent and repeatable data -provides as many significant figures as possible -have the lowest heat loss possible (low specific heat capacity) -provides a method for stirring (manually or a stir bar) -provides a method for delivering liquids/ solutions -provides a method for inserting a temperature probe Write Detailed procedures, including pictures and construction techniques and sizes of materials used. To test: Hot water added to cold watertest (mcAT – mcAT= heat loss to surroundings) (Repeat at least 3 times, If tests do not give the same data, your calorimeter should be reconstructed)
