Bomb Calorimeter vs Coffee Cup Calorimeter Problem – Constant Pressure vs Constant Volume Calorimet

This chemistry video tutorial highlights the difference between the bomb calorimeter and the coffee cup calorimeter. The bomb calorimeter works at constant volume and the coffee cup calorimeter works at constant pressure. The coffee cup calorimeter is useful for measuring the enthalpy changes that occur in an aqueous reaction since enthalpy is equivalent to the amount of heat energy transferred at constant pressure. The bomb calorimeter is useful for measuring the energy of combustion of a substance. It’s not used to measure the enthalpy change however.
