Answer to Problem 68A

Foam cup is used in student calorimeter because it is insulated. So no heat enters into the system or leaves the system.

Explanation of Solution

Calorimeter helps to measure amount of heat involved in a chemical reaction.

Foam cup is used instead of glass beaker because foam cup is insulated material. No exchange of heat takes place from it whereas from glass beaker there can be loss or gain of heat from surroundings which will alter the amount of heat change in the chemical reaction it self.

Conclusion

Student calorimeter consist of foam cup so that no exchange of heat takes place between system and surroundings.
