Pros: Accurate measurement of energy content in food or fuel samples, precise control over experimental conditions, and reliable results for calculating calorific values. Cons: Expensive equipment, time-consuming process to operate and analyze samples, and limited to measuring only the energy from combustion reactions.

Who invented bomb calorimeter?

French scientist and statesman, Berthelot (1827-1907) in 1881


How do you calculate the heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter?

To calculate the heat capacity of a bomb calorimeter, you can use the formula Q C x T, where Q is the heat absorbed or released, C is the heat capacity of the calorimeter, and T is the change in temperature. By measuring the heat absorbed or released and the change in temperature, you can determine the heat capacity of the bomb calorimeter.


What are the differences between simple calorimeter and bomb calorimeter?

A simple calorimeter measures heat changes in a substance through temperature changes in water surrounding it, while a bomb calorimeter measures the heat of combustion of a substance by igniting it in a sealed chamber under high pressure. Bomb calorimeters are more precise and accurate than simple calorimeters, but they are also more complex and expensive to operate.


What does a bomb calorimeter identify and measure in a scientific experiment?

A bomb calorimeter identifies and measures the amount of energy released when a substance is burned in a controlled environment, providing information about the substance's energy content.


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
