Calorimeter Properties

[kshalbi]

In lecture, three properties of coffee cup calorimeters were mentioned. I wrote down insulation, but I didn't get the other two? Did someone else write them down?Thanks.

I believe it was 1) measure the temperature and 2) be a uniform temperature (why the stirrer is used). Hope this helps:)

if you want to get a more profound understanding of calorimetry, I suggest watch the video attached. It goes step by step explaining how to set up a constant pressure calorimeter (aka Coffee cup calorimeter) and how to use data collected to calculate the enthalpy change for the reaction. Hope you find helpful. I also attached below a picture of the set up for you to use as a reference.
