Question

What type of calorimeter would be best to use if you wanted to measure the heat that is released when gasoline is burned?

A)Constant Density Calorimeter

B)Constant Temperature Calorimeter

C)Constant Volume Calorimeter

D)Constant Pressure Calorimeter

Answer 1

D. A constant pressure calorimeter would be used because an increase in heat causes an increase in pressure.

Answer 2

Constant Volume Calorimeter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to measure the heat released in burning of a gasoline, we generally use closed calorimeter. It is a constant volume calorimter.

Most common example of such calorimter is Bomb calorimeter.

We use closed calorimter or constant volume calorimter as large amount of heat is released during combustion of a fuel or gasoline.
