3. A gram food sample is burned completely in a calorimeter that contains 1000. of water The temperature of the water increases 23.65 degrees * C . How many Calories does the food have per gram ?

The food has 23629.64 cal

Given

mass = 1000 g of water

temperature increases 23.65 * C

Required

The energy of the food

Solution

Heat absorbed by water :

Q = m . c . Δt

Q = 1000 g x 4.184 J/g°C x 23.65 °C

Q = 98951.6 J

1 Joules = 0.2388 Calories

98951.6 J = 23629.64 cal
