For the reaction of one mole of zinc dust with one mole of sulphuric acid in a bomb calorimeter, U and w corresponds to
Options
- AU < 0, w=0
- BU < 0, w < 0
- CU>0, w=0
- DU>0, w>0 .
Correct answer
A. U < 0, w=0
Step-by-step solution
Bomb calorimeter is commonly used to find the heat of combustion of organic substances which consists of a sealed combustion chamber, called a bomb. If a process is run in a sealed container then no expansion or compression is allowed, so w=0 and U=q . U < 0, w=0 .
