Examples of constant-volume calorimeter in the following topics:
-
- Constant-volume calorimeters, such as bomb calorimeters, are used to measure the heat of combustion of a reaction.
- A bomb calorimeter is a type of constant-volume calorimeter used to measure a particular reaction's heat of combustion.
- Keep in mind that the heat gained by the calorimeter is the sum of the heat gained by the water, as well as the calorimeter itself.
- Since the volume is constant for a bomb calorimeter, there is no pressure-volume work.
- where ΔU is the change in internal energy, and qV denotes the heat absorbed or released by the reaction measured under conditions of constant volume.
-
- Constant-volume calorimetry is calorimetry performed at a constant volume.
- This involves the use of a constant-volume calorimeter (one type is called a Bomb calorimeter).
- For constant-volume calorimetry:
- where δQ is the increment of heat gained by the sample, CV is the heat capacity at constant volume, cv is the specific heat at constant volume, and ΔT is the change in temperature.

- They range from simple coffee cup calorimeters used by introductory chemistry students to sophisticated bomb calorimeters used to determine the energy content of food.
- To do so, the heat is exchanged with a calibrated object (calorimeter).
- A different type of calorimeter that operates at constant volume, colloquially known as a bomb calorimeter, is used to measure the energy produced by reactions that yield large amounts of heat and gaseous products, such as combustion reactions.
- Bomb calorimeters require calibration to determine the heat capacity of the calorimeter and ensure accurate results.
- This is the picture of a typical setup of bomb calorimeter.
-
- A constant-pressure calorimeter measures the change in enthalpy of a reaction at constant pressure.
- A constant-pressure calorimeter measures the change in enthalpy of a reaction occurring in a liquid solution.
- In contrast, a bomb calorimeter's volume is constant, so there is no pressure-volume work and the heat measured relates to the change in internal energy ($\Delta U=q_V$).
- A simple example of a constant-pressure calorimeter is a coffee-cup calorimeter, which is constructed from two nested Styrofoam cups and a lid with two holes, which allows for the insertion of a thermometer and a stirring rod.
- A styrofoam cup with an inserted thermometer can be used as a calorimeter, in order to measure the change in enthalpy/heat of reaction at constant pressure.
-
- Isobaric process is one in which a gas does work at constant pressure, while an isochoric process is one in which volume is kept constant.
- A process in which a gas does work on its environment at constant pressure is called an isobaric process, while one in which volume is kept constant is called an isochoric process.
- An isobaric process occurs at constant pressure.
- Since the pressure is constant, the force exerted is constant and the work done is given as PΔV.
- An isochoric process is one in which the volume is held constant, meaning that the work done by the system will be zero.
-
- Three dimensional mathematical shapes are also assigned volumes.
- A volume integral is a triple integral of the constant function $1$, which gives the volume of the region $D$.
- of the constant function $1$ calculated on the cuboid itself.
- Triple integral of a constant function $1$ over the shaded region gives the volume.
- Calculate the volume of a shape by using the triple integral of the constant function 1

- Charles' and Gay-Lussac's Law states that at constant pressure, temperature and volume are directly proportional.
- This law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a given mass of an ideal gas increases or decreases by the same factor as its temperature (in Kelvin); in other words, temperature and volume are directly proportional.
- A visual expression of Charles' and Gay-Lussac's Law is shown in a graph of the volume of one mole of an ideal gas as a function of its temperature at various constant pressures.
- This model contains gas molecules on the left side and a barrier that moves when the volume of gas expands or contracts, keeping the pressure constant.
- A visual expression of the law of Charles and Gay-Lussac; specifically, a chart of the volume of one mole of an ideal gas as a function of its temperature at various constant pressures.

- An ideal gas has different specific heat capacities under constant volume or constant pressure conditions.
- Specific Heat for an Ideal Gas at Constant Pressure and Volume
- The heat capacity at constant volume of nR = 1 J·K−1 of any gas, including an ideal gas is:
- where the partial derivatives are taken at: constant volume and constant number of particles, and at constant pressure and constant number of particles, respectively.
- The heat capacity ratio or adiabatic index is the ratio of the heat capacity at constant pressure to heat capacity at constant volume.
-
- In chemical systems, the most common type of work is pressure-volume (PV) work, in which the volume of a gas changes.
- Let's examine the internal energy change, $\Delta U$, at constant volume.
- At constant volume, $\Delta V=0$, the equation for the change in internal energy reduces to the following:
- The subscript V is added to Q to indicate that this is the heat transfer associated with a chemical process at constant volume.
- Therefore, volume is not held constant, and calculating $\Delta U$ becomes problematic.
-
- Boyle's Law describes the inverse relationship between the pressure and volume of a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature.
- Remember that these relations hold true only if the number of molecules (n) and the temperature (T) are both constant.
- Gases can be compressed into smaller volumes.
- What happens to the pressure when the volume changes?
