Question

How can you determine the heat capacity of your calorimeters?

A. By heating water, measuring the temperature difference and multiplying it with the specific heat of water and the weight of water

B. By heating water, measuring the temperature difference, and multiplying the specific heat of calorimeter by weight of water.

C. By heating them and measured how fast the cool down

D. By Measuring the weight of each calorimeter and multiplied by the temperature difference after cooling down

It is not B.

Explanation / Answer

answer :

C. By heating them and measured how fast the cool down

explanation:

calorimeter heat capacity generally havings units kJ / mol

from this fact :

A) option is wrong becuase it is Q value = m C p dT

B) also wrong

D ) which gives weight x dT = g oC units . so it is also wrong .

so ultimate answer is C)
