A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 3.20 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter and combusts it in excess oxygen. The observed temperature increase is 2.12 °C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 40.20 kJ-K, how many nutritional Calories are there per gram of the candy?

A student is attempting to determine the heat capacity of a Styrofoam cup calorimeter by pouring hot water into a Styrofoam cup containing cold water. The student determined the mass of the cold water to be 21.2455 g and its initial temperature to be 20.36 °C. The mass of the hot water was 24.2646 g and its initial temperature as 34.54 °C. The final temperature of the water after mixing was determined to be 24.57°C. The specific heat capacity of the water is 4.184 J/(g•°C). What is the heat capacity of the Styrofoam cup calorimeter? Assume the temperature of the calorimeter is the same temperature as the cold water. 4.184 J/°C 132.5 J/°C
