Bomb Calorimeter What is a Bomb Calorimeter? In calorimetry‚ a bomb calorimeter is a piece of equipment used to measure the heat fluctuation of a reaction’s system‚ the changes in physical properties and the thermal capacity. How does a Bomb Calorimeter works? A calorimeter is basically used for measuring the heat of fuels as it burns at a specific temperature in order to obtain the heat energy values. The samples of fuel used can either be solid or liquid but not gas. The calorimeters is estimated

One interesting event from 1960 was the testing of the first atomic bomb by France. Between 1960 and 1966‚ seventeen bombs were tested by France. These bombs leaked radioactive materials that are still affecting citizens near the bomb sites in the Sahara Desert.

A fusion bomb is a bomb that uses nuclear fusion to gain energy. A specific fusion bomb would be a hydrogen bomb or also called the H-bomb. How the bomb works is it uses deuterium and tritium (which are both isotopes of hydrogen) and they fuse into helium releasing great amounts of energy. The bomb itself was thought up by many people but Edward Teller was the one who took the ideal and ran with it. He created and tested multiple Hydrogen Bombs in his life. The idea of this bomb was floating in
