A bomb calorimeter is used to measure heats of combustion by sealing the substance to be burned in a bomb surrounded by water and delivering oxygen and a spark to initiate the chemical reaction. The heat generated by the reaction warms the bomb and surrounding water, and the temperature change is used to calculate the heat released by determining the calorimeter's specific heat capacity first. An example problem calculates the heat of combustion per mole of sucrose using the temperature change and heat capacity of the calorimeter containing a 1.32 g sample that was burned.

using a spark can be carried out in a device called a bomb calorimeter. Usually heats of combustion are measured this way.
The substance to be burned is massed into
the bomb, which is fitted with a device that can deliver a spark and with a tube that can deliver oxygen under pressure. The bomb is then sealed and immersed in a well-insulated vat of water. Oxygen is let into the bomb, the spark generated, the reaction occurs, and no products escape as the heat is generated.
The heat warms the bomb and thus the
water surrounding it. The stuff absorbing the heat is not only the water, but also anything immersed in it. It includes the thermometer and the stirrer which ensures that any heat is uniformly distributed before the final temperature is read.
Before a bomb calorimeter is used its specific
heat capacity must be determined. Sample Problem A 1.32 g sample of sucrose, C12H22O11 is burned in the presence of excess oxygen in a bomb calorimeter. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 9.43 kJ/oC. The heat liberated by the combustion in the bomb caused the temperature of the calorimeters contents to change from 25.00 oC to 27.32 oC. Calculate the heat of combustion per mole of sucrose in units of kJ/mol.
