A Copper Calorimeter (also called a Copper Calory Meter) is a laboratory instrument used to measure the heat transfer in physical or chemical reactions, especially in specific heat and heat of fusion experiments.
Material: Made of copper due to its excellent thermal conductivity.
Parts: Typically includes:
A copper container
A non-conducting outer jacket
A stirrer
A lid with holes for thermometer and stirrer
Sometimes paired with a wooden or plastic insulating box
It works on the principle of calorimetry, where:
Heat lost = Heat gained
This allows calculation of:
Specific heat of solids or liquids
Latent heat of fusion or vaporization
Heat changes in reactions
Physics and Chemistry practicals (CBSE/ICSE/State boards)
School and college lab experiments
Research in thermal properties
