- 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 absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.502-g sample of para-toluic acid (C3H3O2) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1170. g of water. The temperature increases from 25.10 °C to 27.60 °C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J gl°c-1. The molar heat of combustion is -3862 kJ per mole of para-toluic acid.
