  1. Answer:

    TRUE

    Explanation:

    Main job of calorimeter is to measure energy changes or determine specific heat capacity of different substances. Specific heat is an intensive property (like density, color, etc.) that does not depend on the amount of a substance present. This allows substances to be identified using their specific heat. Thus, calorimeter comes very handy in determining the specfic heat of unknown substance.
