Question

    A calorimeter is typically made from a thin sheet of which

    metal, known for its high thermal conductivity?
    A Silver Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Platinum Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Copper Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Cesium Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Calorimeters are designed to measure heat changes during physical or chemical processes. To do this effectively, the container must allow rapid heat exchange. Copper is commonly used because of its excellent thermal conductivity and low specific heat capacity, making it ideal for precise thermal measurements.
