A bomb calorimeter, or constant volume calorimeter, is a device often used to determine the heat of combustion of fuels and the energy content of foods. Since the "bomb" itself can absorb energy, a separate experiment is needed to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter. This is known as calibrating the calorimeter. In the laboratory a student burns a 0.320 g sample of heptadecanoic acid (C₁7H34O2) in a bomb calorimeter containing 1050 g of water. The temperature increases from 24.70°C to 27.10°C. The heat capacity of water is 4.184 J/(g. °C). The molar heat of combustion is -10620 kJ per mole of heptadecanoic acid. C17H34 O2 (s) + 49/2O2(g) → 17CO₂(g) + 17H₂O(l) + Energy Ignition wires Stirrer Thermometer
