How to verify a the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter?
Help! I need to describe an experiment using only hot and cold water to verify the heat capacity of a coffee-cup calorimeter to 1.0 x 10J/C. I cannot find anything on the web to describe an experiment.
Answer:
Something about starting with a certain volume of cold water, measuring the temperature, and then adding a certain volume of hot water and seeing how much the temperature goes up. If the temperature goes up less than you'd calculate just by mixing the two different water samples, the residual heat must be lost to the heat capacity of the calorimeter.
