A 17.5 g sample of a candy bar is burned in a bomb calorimeter, which has a heat capacity of 9.25 kJ/°C. The temperature increases from 19.7°C to 57.3°C.
What is the fuel value of the candy bar? In kJ/g
How many Calories are in a 77.7 g candy bar? 1 Cal = 4.184 kJ. In Cal
Heat released of combustion = CT
= 9.25KJ/0C*(57.3-19.7)0C
= 347.8KJ
Heat released of combustion per g = 347.8Kj/17.5g
= 19.874KJ/g
b
The heat released of 77.7g of candy bar = 19.87KJ/g*77.7g
= 1543.9KJ
= 1543.9cal/4.184 [ 1 Cal = 4.184 kJ ]
= 369cal>>>>answer
