Question

A student followed the procedure of this experiment to determine the Caloric content of a Planter's cocktail peanut. The peanut studied had a mass of 0.666g before combustion and 0.058g after combustion. The energy released during combustion caused a 14.1°C increase in the temperature of 193.1 mL of water in the calorimeter. a. Calculate the mass (g) of peanut burned b. Calculate the mass (kg) of water present in the calorimeter. c. Calculate the amount of energy released (Cal), from the burning peanut d. Calculate the amount of energy released per gram (Cal/g) of peanut burned
