How is chemical energy measured by a bomb calorimeter?

In: Science, Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

The formula is Ek= CΔt
C is the heat capacity of the bomb calrimitor (sometimes given in question so don't worry, or you may be given the other variables and be expected to find C)
T is the temperature (initial and final)

1. Find the E absorbed (released) by the container. Ek= CΔt

2. Use the Principal of heat transfer.
Ep reaction = -Ek calorimeter

3. Find E released (absorbed) by the reaction.
(Ep = nΔΗ)

What unit of measurement is chemical energy measured in?
Joules. Calories in some cases, but only for food and heat which can also be measured in joules.
How do you convert Chemical Energy to Chemical Energy?
It depends what type of chemical energy it is. But if it is just in general, then you would do nothing ,you would just leave it the same.
What type of energy is chemical energy?
chemical energy is stored energy For example: tree stores energy that it had received from the sun (thermal and heat energy) hope that will help! sobouh rahimi
Chemical energy is a form of what energy?
The name is confusing you. It's called chemical energy when energy is stored in stuff eg...carbohydrates are a type of energy from cerial so it is called chemical energy.(chemical energy in cerial)
