(b) How is ΔU measured calorimetrically.
Answer:
The heat of combustion of a substance at constant volume is measured by calorimetric method.
The bomb is a closed container made of a heavy steel. The bomb is coated inside with gold to prevent oxidation of steel during combustion reaction. A known mass of the substance whose heat of combustion is to be determined is taken in the platinum cup. The bomb is filled with oxygen at a pressure of 20-25 atm. The bomb is closed with a tight screw cap.

The bomb is surrounded by water bath taken in a insulated outer vessel. The initial temperature of water bath is noted. Let it be t1°C. The combustion is initiated by passing electric current through platinum filament. The heat evolved during combustion raises the temperature of water outside the bomb calorimeter. The highest temperature recorded by thermometer is noted. Let it be t2°C.

Calculation

  1. Let the mass of the substance taken be mg.
  2. Let the molecular mass of the susbtance taken be ‘M’
  3. Let the heat capacity of calorimeter be Q.
  4. Let Δt be the rise in temperature.
