A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut. During the experiment, the measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

Explanation:

Given that,

A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut.

During the experiment, the  measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

Suppose, the mass of peanut is 0.4 g and find the

We need to calculate the heat generated per gram of sample in calories

Using formula of heat generated

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g
