Calorimetry is the science of measuring the amount of heat transferred to or from a substance in a reaction by using a calorimeter to measure the heat exchanged with the surroundings. … A coffee cup calorimeter consists of a coffee cup, a thermometer, water, and a reactant placed inside the cup.
The reaction is allowed to proceed in the coffee cup calorimeter. As a result of the reaction, the temperature of the water changes to 31.0°C. The heat flow is calculated: In other words, the products of the reaction evolved 5000 J of heat, which was lost to the water.
Two of the most common types of calorimeters are the coffee cup calorimeter and the bomb calorimeter. A coffee cup calorimeter is essentially a polystyrene (Styrofoam) cup with a lid. The cup is partially filled with a known volume of water and a thermometer is inserted through the lid of the cup so that its bulb is below the water surface.
The role of the Styrofoam in a coffee cup calorimeter is that it reduces the amount of heat exchange between the water in the coffee cup and the surrounding air. The value of a lid on the coffee cup is that it also reduces the amount of heat exchange between the water and the surrounding air.
