When a bomb calorimeter is used to determine the heat of reaction, which property of the system under investigation is most likely to remain constant?
- A. Number of molecules
- B. Pressure
- C. Temperature
- D. volume
Step-by-step solution
A bomb calorimeter operates at constant volume. The reaction chamber is sealed and rigid, so the volume of the system cannot change. Therefore, volume remains constant during the measurement.
