Question

Which relationship can be used to aid in the determination of the heat absorbed by bomb calorimeter? 

Answer 1

ΔH =
`q_(p)`

Step-by-step explanation:

In a calorimeter, when there is a complete combustion within the calorimeter, the heat given off in the combustion is used to raise the thermal energy of the water and the calorimeter.

The heat transfer is represented by

`q_(com)` =
`q_(p)`

where

`q_(p)` = the internal heat gained by the whole calorimeter mass system, which is the water, as well as the calorimeter itself.

`q_(com)` = the heat of combustion

Also, we know that the total heat change of the any system is

ΔH = ΔQ + ΔW

where

ΔH = the total heat absorbed by the system

ΔQ = the internal heat absorbed by the system which in this case is
`q_(p)`

ΔW = work done on the system due to a change in volume. Since the volume of the calorimeter system does not change, then ΔW = 0

substituting into the heat change equation

ΔH =
`q_(p)` + 0

==> ΔH =
`q_(p)`
