Calorimetry is the field of science that deals with the measurement of the state of a body with respect to the thermal aspects in order to examine its physical and chemical changes. The changes could be physical such as melting, evaporation etc or could also be chemical such as burning, acid-base neutralization etc. Calorimeter is what is used to measure the thermal changes of a body. Calorimetry is applied extensively in the fields of thermo chemistry in calculating the enthalpy, stability, heat capacity etc.

The need for Calorimetry:

It is well known now that matter always obeys the principle of lowest energy ie given the option, matter will exist in the lowest energy state possible. Despite this, matter can have a variety of energetic states. Uranium atoms, for example, are a powerhouse. Energy of matter has a profound effect on its natural occurrence and its reactivity etc. If we can unravel the relationship between them then we can predict natural occurrence, reactivity and physical properties based on the energy measurements we make through calorimetry, understanding the thermodynamic properties of a substance will inevitably yield answers to structure and other properties.

Hey dear,

● Answer -
- A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used in measuring the heat of combustion of a particular reaction.
- It involves steel ball placed in water filled bucket.
- This water absorbs heat released by combustion and increases temperature of thermometer.
- Therefore, water helps to measure heat of combustion of specific sample.

Hope this helps you...
