Calorimetry and Energy Balance

Hot coffee is stirred with a spoon; the spoon gets hot due to

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

A chair is several feet from a fireplace. The side of the chair facing the fireplace gets warm due to

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

"Lava lamps" contain colored liquids. These liquids form globs that rise to the top due to

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

Calorimeters use insulating materials to:

• encourage affordable materials in science experiments in schools.
• preserve the heat of the environment outside the Styrofoam cup.
• prevent heat from escaping to the environment.
• keep the liquid inside the Styrofoam cup from overheating.
