What is a calorimeter?
Think about its purpose in experiments.
What does a coffee-cup calorimeter measure?
Consider reactions in solutions.
What type of calorimeter is best suited for reactions in solution?
Consider where reactions are typically carried out.
True or False: A bomb calorimeter measures heat at constant pressure.
Think about the structure of the bomb calorimeter.
If 250 mL of water at 20 °C absorbs 1250 J of heat, what is the final temperature assuming the specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/(g·°C)?
Use q = mcΔT, remember to convert mL of water to grams, since they are equal for water.
You burn a fuel in a bomb calorimeter that raises the water temperature from 25 °C to 35 °C in a calorimeter with a heat capacity of 5000 J/°C. How much heat was produced?
Calculate the temperature change before substituting into the equation.
