Q. The quantity of heat measured for a reaction in a bomb calorimeter is equal to
A) $\mathrm{\Delta}G$
B) ∆H
C) $p\mathrm{\Delta}V$
D) ∆E
Explanation
(d)
Heat of combustion is usually measured by placing a known mass of a compound in a steel container called a constant volume bomb calorimeter.
$\mathrm{\Delta}E = C \times \mathrm{\Delta}t \times \frac{M}{m}$
Where, C=heat capacity of calorimeter, $\mathrm{\Delta}t = (t_{2} - t_{1})$ $m$=mass of substance taken and $M$=molar mass of substance
