Yes, T of calorimeter increases.
q = heat transferred = heat capacity calorimter x (Tfinal-Tinitial)
a piece of metal is heated by placing it in hot oil. it is removed from the hot oil and placed into a calorimeter of cold water. the water heats up due to the transfer of heat from the metal. what happens to the temperature of the calorimeter? how is the heat that causes the temperature of the calorimeter to rise accounted for during our calorimetry calculations?
we briefly went over this in class, so it is prety new to me. i would assume that the temp of the calorimeter would increase. but im not sure which part of the equation we would use it. would it be the intial or final temp?
