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

Solutions

Expert Solution

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
