Answer Details
The determination of heat of combustion involves measuring the amount of heat energy released when a substance is burned completely in oxygen. To measure this energy, a device called a bomb calorimeter is used. The substance is placed in a sealed container (the "bomb"), and then ignited by an electric spark. As the substance burns, the heat produced raises the temperature of the surrounding water, which is used to calculate the heat of combustion. Therefore, the correct answer is "a bomb calorimeter."
