You're right that IF the metal calorimeter and the styrofoam calorimeter were both perfect and behaved in the way that we usually pretend calorimeters do (they don't absorb or lose heat) then they should produce identical results, for the enthalpy reason you provide.
A cup of acetone is enough to dissolve an entire bean bag worth of styrofoam beads! Styrofoam is made up of polystyrene foam. When the polystyrene dissolves in the acetone, the air in the foam is released, causing it to look like you're dissolving this massive quantity of material into a small volume of liquid.You can see a less-dramatic version of the same effect by dissolving other polystyrene items in acetone.issolving Styrofoam or another polystyrene product in acetone is a spectacular demonstration of the solubility of this plastic in an organic solvent, plus it illustrates just how much air is in the Styrofoam.
