why is it reasonable to assume that a reaction in a calorimeter, the heat of the reaction is absorbed by the?

Question

calorimeter?

If you could be specific, it would be very helpful. Thanks

Answer 1

In the reaction SOME of the heat is absorbed by the calorimeter The better the calorimter, the less heat it absorbs. That's why the total heat liberated is equal to the heat from the solution PLUS the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.
