Question

What is the purpose of the coffee cup in a coffee cup calorimetry experiment? O. The coffee cup insulates the experiment, minimizing heat loss to the environment. The Styrofoam™ of the coffee cup acts as a catalyst for heat transfer. O The coffee cup adds heat to the experiment. O The soft coffee cup is safer to work with than a glass beaker. Which reaction or process could not be studied in a coffee cup calorimeter? O O O O ice melting a match burning hot glass giving off heat ethanol dissolving into water

Explanation / Answer

1)
coffee cup calorimeter is insulator that doesn’t allow heat loss
Answer: option 1

2)
For experiment to be conducted in coffee cup calorimeter, there must be temperature difference
Ice melting takes place at constant temperature
So, this can’t be studied in calorimeter
Answer: ice melting
