The Bomb Calorimeter
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A bomb calorimeter measures heat at constant volume, inside a sealed steel vessel built for combustion reactions.
Show
A weighed fuel sample is ignited by a spark inside the bomb, and the surrounding water warms by an amount revealing the heat released.
Watch for
A bomb calorimeter's steel body absorbs a share of the reaction's heat, so its known heat capacity enters the calculation.
