A 3.000 g sample of food was then burned in a calorimeter to determine its Calories per gram content. 50mL of water were used to determine ΔT of the reaction. Initial temperature of the water at the start of the combustion reaction was 20oC, final temperature was 99oC. Calorimeter constant for this calorimeter is 10.0J/oC. How much heat has been absorbed by the water sample?

A 3.000 g sample of food was then burned in a calorimeter to determine its Calories per gram content. 50mL of water were used to determine ΔT of the reaction. Initial temperature of the water at the start of the combustion reaction was 20oC, final temperature was 99oC. Calorimeter constant for
this calorimeter is 10.0J/oC. How much heat has been absorbed by the water sample?
Expert Solution
Step 1

density is defined as mass of a substance upon the volume occupied by the substance

density = mass / volume

specific heat capacity ( C) is defined as the amount of heat (Q) required by a substance to raise the temperature by 1 oC of 1 gm of substance

 C=Qm*T

 

m= mass of the substance

change in temperature T
