Solution

Calorimeter is a device used to measure the quantity of energy transferred to its surroundings.

A bomb calorimeter is used to measure heat flow for solids with low to high temperature reactions.

A bomb calorimeter works in the same manner as a common calorimeter, with one big difference. In a common calorimeter, the reaction takes place in the water. In a bomb calorimeter, the reaction takes place in a sealed metal container, which is the bomb vessel.
