Bomb calorimeter

[Melody Haratian 2J]

Can someone explain the difference between a regular calorimeter and a bomb calorimeter?

[Chem_Mod]

A bomb calorimeter is a calorimeter that is specifically made to prevent changes in volume of the gases inside. It is completely sealed, which also allows for pressure buildup inside the calorimeter, hence where the word "bomb" comes in.

[Ava Nickman]

the bomb calorimeter is specific to maintaining the volume of gas inside

[JasmineCap1A]

Bomb calorimeter: isolated system at constant P &V
Regular calorimeter: allows pressure to equalize w/environment & open

[Griffin G]

Bomb calorimeter = constant volume.

Here's a diagram that shows the difference between a bomb and coffee calorimeter.

A bomb calorimeter is sealed off from the environment, so it is an isolated system

[AndrewNguyen_2H]

Bomb Calorimeters have constant volume.

[MCalcagnie_ 1D]

I believe a bomb calorimeter has a constant volume whereas a regular calorimeter has a constant pressure.

Constant pressure (regular calorimeter) vs constant volume (bomb calorimeter)
