If an exothermic reaction occurs in a Bomb calorimeter then the temperature of the water bath ________(a) increases(b) decreases(c) remains constant(d) cannot predictThis question was posed to me in an online interview.My question is based upon Thermodynamics topic in section Thermodynamics of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (a) increases

Easiest EXPLANATION: In a Bomb calorimeter, the reaction occurs in a vessel and that is SURROUNDED by the water bath. If it is an exothermic reaction the TEMPERATURE rises and if it is an endothermic reaction the temperature decreases. Temperature can be MEASURED USING a thermometer.
