In a calorimeter, the heat given by the hot object is assumed to be equal to the heat taken by the cold object. Does it mean that heat of the two objects taken together remains constant?

Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Yes, heat of the two objects taken together remains constant.

Since the heat given by the hot object is assumed to be equal to the head taken by the cold object, hence no heat is lost to the surroundings which means the heat of the two object (system) taken together remains constant.
