Question
A bomb calorimeter, or constant
volume calorimeter, is a device
often used to determine the heat
of combustion of fuels and the
energy content of foods.
Since the "bomb" itself can
Ignition
wires

sample
Thermometer
absorb energy, a separate
experiment is needed to
determine the heat capacity of the
calorimeter. This is known as
Stirrer
calibrating the calorimeter.
In the laboratory a student burns a
1.13-g sample of dimethyl
oxalate (C,H,04) in a bomb
calorimeter containing 1070. g of
water. The temperature increases
from 24.00 °C to 27.00 °C. The
Water
heat capacity of water is 4.184 J

The molar heat of combustion is
-1675 kJ per mole of dimethyl
oxalate.
