What explains the key difference between a bomb calorimeter and a coffee cup calorimeter?

A
A bomb calorimeter is 10 times larger but works the same way.
B
A bomb calorimeter measures heat for liquid products only.
C
A bomb calorimeter has a separate chamber to hold substances and can even measure heat gain or loss for reactions that do not occur in water.
D
A bomb calorimeter can measure heat gain or loss in gaseous reactions but is not useful for reactions that occur at high pressures and temperatures.

Which energy graph represents the nonspontaneous transition of graphite into diamond?

A
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts low on the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up sharply, curves down a short distance, and levels out.
Option A
B
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up sharply, curves down sharply, and levels out below the initial starting point.
Option B
C
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up a small amount, then curves down to level out below the initial starting point.
Option C
D
A graph with Reaction progression on the horizontal axis and energy on the vertical axis. A line starts midway up the vertical axis, runs briefly parallel to the horizontal axis, slopes up a moderate amount, then curves down sharply to level out below the initial starting point.
Option D
