Gases at high pressures are frequently used, hence the name. In 1878, Paul Vieille (1854–1934) developed the first bomb calorimeter which was used for measuring heats of explosion at the French service of explosives in Paris. However, this bomb was attributed by many authors to M. Berthelot (1827–1907).
Why is bomb calorimeter called bomb?
Bomb calorimeter consists of a strong steel vessel ( called bomb)which can stand high pressure when the substance is burnt in it. Hence, it is called bomb calorimeter.
What is the difference between a calorimeter and a bomb calorimeter?
A coffee cup calorimeter is great for measuring heat flow in a chemical solution, but it can’t be used for reactions, which involve gases since they would escape from the cup. … A bomb calorimeter is used to measure heat flow for solids with low to high temperature reactions.
