Cooking chicken means to raise the temperature of the meat to a level that is safe to eat, 165 degrees fahrenheit. Boiling is one way to cook chicken in water, but doesn't usually give good results.
The heat of combustion can be most conveniently measured using an adiabatic bomb calorimeter. In. such calorimeter, the combustion reaction occurs in a closed container under constant volume (âbombâ). The bomb. is immersed in a weighted quantity of water and surrounded by an adiabatic shield that serves as a heat insulator.
If energy from coal were applied to drive the decomposition reaction, more CO 2 would be released than consumed, because no process is perfectly efficient. Another option would be to harness a carbon-free energy source to drive a reaction that does not merely undo the combustion process but instead uses carbon dioxide as an input to generate useful, energy-rich products.
