One day, you decide to pop some popcorn. You put the bag in the microwave, but after a couple of minutes of cooking it is clear the popcorn is not popping. Why did this happen? What steps could you take to help locate the problem?

Acalorimeter is to be calibrated: 51.203 g of water at 55.2 degree c is added to a calorimeter containing 49.783 g of water at 23.5c. after stirring and waiting for the system to equilibrate, the final temperature reached is 37.6 degree c. specific heat capacity of water (s = 4.18 j/g∙degree c). calculate the calorimeter constant. (smδt)warm water = -[(smδt)cold water + (calorimeterδtcold water)]
