CHM 101 Thermochemistry II Objective Question

Question

How is heat released in a bomb calorimeter calculated?
Options
A qᵣₓₙ = -C_cal × ΔT
Correct Answer
B qᵣₓₙ = C_cal × ΔT
C qᵣₓₙ = mCΔT
D qᵣₓₙ = nΔH
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

In bomb calorimetry, qᵣₓₙ = -C_cal × ΔT, where C_cal is the total calorimeter heat capacity and ΔT is the observed temperature change.

Hint

The notes provide this formula.
