To solve this problem, separate it into chunks that you know. You know that there are 2.54 centimeters in 1 inch. You know that there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. You know that there are 1000 meters in a kilometer. Therefore, we'll convert in this order: 1) from kilometers to meters, 2) from meters to centimeters, and 3) from centimeters to inches.
1) 1km × 1000m/1km
= 1000m
2) 1000m × 100cm/1m
= 100000cm
3) 100000cm × 1in/2.54cm
≈ 39370in
So, there are approximately 39370 inches in a kilometer.

Which of the following is kept constant when using a bomb calorimeter?
trapecia [35]
Constant Volume Calorimetry, also know as bomb calorimetry, is used to measure the heat of a reaction while holding volume constant and resisting large amounts of pressure. Although these two aspects of bomb calorimetry make for accurate results, they also contribute to the difficulty of bomb calorimetry. In this module, the basic assembly of a bomb calorimeter will be addressed, as well as how bomb calorimetry relates to the heat of reaction and heat capacity and the calculations involved in regards to these two topics.

Introduction 

Calorimetry is used to measure quantities of heat, and can be used to determine the heat of a reaction through experiments. Usually a coffee-cup calorimeter is used since it is simpler than a bomb calorimeter, but to measure the heat evolved in a combustion reaction, constant volume or bomb calorimetry is ideal. A constant volume calorimeter is also more accurate than a coffee-cup calorimeter, but it is more difficult to use since it requires a well-built reaction container that is able to withstand large amounts of pressure changes that happen in many chemical reactions.

Most serious calorimetry carried out in research laboratories involves the determination of heats of combustion ΔHcombustion" role="presentation" style="display: inline-table; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; font-size: 14.4px; text-indent: 0px; text-align: left; text-transform: none; letter-spacing: normal; word-spacing: normal; word-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">ΔHcombustionΔHcombustion, since these are essential to the determination of standard enthalpies of formation of the thousands of new compounds that are prepared and characterized each month. In a constant volume calorimeter, the system is sealed or isolated from its surroundings, and this accounts for why its volume is fixed and there is no volume-pressure work done. A bomb calorimeter structure consists of the following:

Steel bomb which contains the reactantsWater bath in which the bomb is submergedThermometerA motorized stirrerWire for ignition

is usually called a “bomb”, and the technique is known as bomb calorimetry

Another consequence of the constant-volume condition is that the heat released corresponds to qv , and thus to the internal energy change ΔUrather than to ΔH. The enthalpy change is calculated according to the formula
