A good calorimeter should be of
low specific heat capacity and low heat conductivity
low specific heat capacity and high heat conductivity
high specific heat capacity and high heat conductivity
high specific heat capacity and low heat conductivity
dull surface and low heat conductivity
説明
High Specific Heat Capacity: This allows the calorimeter to absorb a significant amount of heat without a large increase in temperature, ensuring accurate measurements of heat transfer.
Low Heat Conductivity: This minimizes heat loss to or gain from the surroundings, helping to maintain the integrity of the temperature measurements.
Low Heat Conductivity: This minimizes heat loss to or gain from the surroundings, helping to maintain the integrity of the temperature measurements.
