Calorimetry and calorimeters

[suskieanna]

Hello I learnt about calorimetry and calorimeters at school (when it is meant to be learn in semester 2) but I still didn't understand dwhen to use solution calorimeter and bomb calorimeter.
I am currently finishing my study note so that I can start my revision for my upcoming sac.
can anyone plz help me with calorimetry and calorimeters in general with some references to the study design dotpoint: the principles of calorimetry; solution and bomb calorimetry, including determination of calibration factor and consideration of the effects of heat loss; and analysis of temperature-time graphs obtained from solution calorimetry.

A bomb calorimeter is for gas and a regular calorimeter is for aqueous solutions.
When you are doing the questions use the plug the values given into the calibration factor formula:
CF=VIt/T
and then use it to find the energy of the reaction by putting it in the formula:
Energy of reaction=CF x changeTemp

Hope this helps!
