Re: isolated system
In an isolated system no matter or energy is able to be transferred. I though a bomb calorimeter was a closed system not isolated?

Re: isolated system
a bomb calorimeter is tightly sealed and insulated which means that heat cannot be transferred with the surroundings. Also, the volume of the system cannot change so there can be no work done. This means that it is an isolated system.

thanks for explaining so well!!
Re: isolated system
A reaction in a bomb calorimeter considered an isolated system because a bomb calorimeter is sealed tightly. Therefore, heat cannot be transferred. Teh volume of the system is not changed therefore it is an isolated system.

Re: isolated system
It is so tightly sealed that the volume can not change and there is no effect from the outside system.
Re: isolated system
An isolated system is simply a system where there is no heat flow into or out of the system and where the volume is cannot change.

Re: isolated system
In a calorimeter, energy and matter both CANNOT be transferred between the system and surroundings because of the tight seal, making it an isolated system
