Does a measurement carried out in a bomb calorimeter give a value for $\Delta H$ or $\Delta E ?$ Explain.

Step 1
In such a system, the heat transfer is equal to the change in internal energy, which is represented by $\Delta E$. Show more…

Explain how calorimetry works to calculate $\Delta H$ or $\Delta E$ for a reaction. Does the temperature of the calorimeter increase or decrease for an endothermic reaction? How about for an exothermic reaction? Explain why $\Delta H$ is obtained directly from a coffee cup calorimeter, whereas $\Delta E$ is obtained directly from a bomb calorimeter.
If a student performs an endothermic reaction in a calorimeter, how does the calculated value of $\Delta H$ differ from the actual value if the heat exchanged with the calorimeter is not taken into account?
