Question
A bomb calorimeter, or constant
volume calorimeter, is a device
often used to determine the heat
of combustion of fuels and the
energy content of foods.
Since the "bomb" itself can

Thermometer
absorb energy, a separate
experiment is needed to
determine the heat capacity of the
calorimeter. This is known as
Stirrer
calibrating the calorimeter.
