I hate Chemistry ^^
Please help me with this project. It's HARD
Project due January 3rd, 2006
=================================================================================================
Calorimetry: the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction
You are a nutritionist and your job is to determine the energy content of a new food that has been placed on the market. You are sent a 10.0 gram sample of the food. In your experiment, the temperature increased from 21°C to 86°C.
Fully determine the type of experimental setup you would have used in this experiment. Include a labeled drawing of the experimental device.
Show all steps in the calculation.
Record your answer to the correct amount of significant figures
---
Additional notes:
-Assume the mass of water is 100.0 grams
-Specific heat capacity of water is 4.18 J/g⋅°C
==================================================================================================
So...that is my project outline. I have NO idea what to do. So far, from assumption and what I've learned in class, I've figured
q=(10.0 grams)(C)(65°C)
But the thing is I don't know what else is necessary to complete the equation because that is all he gave us. So, anyone able to help?
Edit #1: *Crickets chirping* o.o
Edit #2: *Jeopardy Song plays* >.> Wow, is it really that hard?

Calorimetry: the amount of heat released or absorbed during a chemical reaction
q=mCΔT
q=heat transferred
m=mass of the substance
C=specific heat of capacity of the substance
ΔT= (Final Temperature - Initial Temperature)
m=mass of the substance
C=specific heat of capacity of the substance
