Complete Calorimeter Set

This copper calorimeter set provides a complete apparatus for measuring heat transfer and specific heat capacity in thermodynamics experiments. The set includes an inner copper vessel (75mm tall x 50mm diameter) carried on cork supports, an outer copper vessel (100mm tall x 75mm diameter), and a lid with a central tubule for a thermometer and a slit for a stirrer. Copper's low specific heat capacity makes it ideal for calorimetry, as the calorimeter itself absorbs minimal heat from the system being measured. The double-vessel design with the air gap between inner and outer vessels reduces heat loss to the surroundings. It is recommended that all components be washed and dried after use and stored in a cool, dry place to prevent copper oxidation.
