Initial pressure of oxygen introduced into the 'bomb' of the bomb calorimeter for determination of calorific value of coal/fuel oil may be around _____________ atm?

Correct answer: B. 25-30

  • A. 3-5
  • B. 25-30
  • C. 60-65
  • D. 95-100

Explanation

A bomb calorimeter is charged with oxygen at roughly 25 to 30 atm so the sample burns completely in a sealed vessel. The much higher pressure ranges listed would not be the normal operating charge.
