The formula is Ek= CΔt
C is the heat capacity of the bomb calrimitor (sometimes given in question so don't worry, or you may be given the other variables and be expected to find C)
T is the temperature (initial and final)
1. Find the E absorbed (released) by the container. Ek= CΔt
2. Use the Principal of heat transfer.
Ep reaction = -Ek calorimeter
3. Find E released (absorbed) by the reaction.
(Ep = nΔΗ)

What are the different types of calorimeters?
Bomb calorimeter and coffee-cup calorimeter. Both useful, however, the bomb calorimeter is better to use if you're measuring deltaH of a gas
What are the differences between simple calorimeter and bomb calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter measures heat transfer at constant while the cup measures at constant pressure.
What is principle of working of bomb calorimeter?
A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction. Bomb calorimeters have to withstand the large pressure within the calorimeter as the reaction is being measured. Electrical energy is used to ignite the fuel; as the fuel is burning, it will heat up the surrounding air, which expands and escapes through a tube that leads the air out of the calorimeter. When the air is escaping through the copper tube it will also heat up the water outside the tube. The temperature of the water allows for calculating calorie content of the fuel
Who invented bomb calorimeter?
French scientist and statesman, Berthelot (1827-1907) in 1881
What is a bomb calorimeter used for?
A calorimeter is a device used to measure the heat levels produced by chemical reactions. Bomb calorimeters are heavy-duty devices to withstand greater levels of heat combustion and pressure. Bomb calorimeters are used in many industries such as the oil and gas industry or food industry.
What is the principle of Bunsen calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter is heat combustion
What is bomb caloriemeter?
Bomb calorimeter is the apparatus used to find the change in internal energy with respect to heat capacity at constant pressure.
What are the different types of calorimeters?
Bomb calorimeter and coffee-cup calorimeter. Both useful, however, the bomb calorimeter is better to use if you're measuring deltaH of a gas
Why 1000c thermometer is used in bomb calorimeter why not 100c?
bcoz of space in the calorimeter....
What are the differences between simple calorimeter and bomb calorimeter?
bomb calorimeter measures heat transfer at constant while the cup measures at constant pressure.
Why bomb calorimeter is called by that name?
In conducting a calorimetric test using a bomb calorimeter, the substance or object to be studied is placed inside the combustion crucible and ignited. The resulting reaction usually occurs so quickly that it resembles the explosion of a bomb-hence, the name "bomb calorimeter."
What is the conclusion of the bomb calorimeter experiment to determine the calorific values of fuel by means of a bomb calorimeter?
it is for determining gross calorific value of any coal
What apparatus is used in determining quantities of heat in substances or chemical processes such as combustion?
A bomb calorimeter or Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC)

What measures the heat of the chemical reactions?
A calorimeter is a device used to measure the quantity of heat flow in a chemical reaction. Two of the most common types of calorimeters are the coffee cup calorimeter and the bomb calorimeter..........For more info., referSpecial:UnAnsweredQ
