CHM 101 Thermochemistry Objective Question

Question

A bomb calorimeter measures change in __________ energy (ΔU).
Options
A enthalpy
B internal
Correct Answer
C kinetic
D potential
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Because volume is constant (ΔV=0), no P-V work is done, so the heat measured (q_v) equals ΔU.

Hint

At constant volume, q = ΔU.
