Question 12 of 25 • SS26 - Chemistry in the Earth System, Semester 1 CR

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

Answer

A bomb calorimeter is 10 times larger but works the same way.

A bomb calorimeter measures heat for liquid products only.

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.

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.
