In the laboratory a "coffee cup" calorimeter, or constant pressure calorimeter, is frequently used to determine the specific heat of a solid, or to measure the energy of a solution phase reaction. Thermometer Stirring rod A student heats 63.43 grams of silver to 98.37 °C and then drops it into a cup containing 83.30 grams of water at 20.64 °C. She measures the final temperature to be 23.73 °C. The heat capacity of the calorimeter (sometimes referred to as the calorimeter constant) was determined in a separate experiment to be 1.88 J/°C.
