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.
(1) Combustion of organic mixtures like you find in wood is not always a simple case of oxidation of the carbon and hydrogen present in the substance, rather, a large number of complex chemical reactions takes place, one of which is pyrolysis in which large molecules are fragmented into smaller molecules in the absence of oxygen.
