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.
But these definitions, clear enough when applied to atomic structure to explain chemical reactions, are not as clearly applicable to combustion, which remains, generally speaking, a type of chemical reaction involving oxygen as the oxidizing agent but complicated by the fact that the process includes other kinds of reactions as well and by the fact that it proceeds at an unusually fast pace.
