After helping a friend move, I was super hungry and decided to make a lot of pasta (all Carbohydrates). But instead of eating the pasta, I decided to perform a nutritional calorimetry experiment. I determined that 4 gallons of water could be heated by 29.2 K from the energy in the prepared pasta. How many grams of carbohydrates were in the prepared pasta?

An experiment was performed to determine the heat capacity of a coffee cup calorimeter. The calorimeter contained 90.0 g of water at a temperature of 21.3 °C. 105.0 g of water at a temperature of 50.2 °C were poured into the calorimeter and the contents of the calorimeter were stirred The final temperature of the water and the calorimeter was 35.6 °C. The specific heat capacíty of water is 4.184 J/g-°C. What is the heat capacity of the calorimeter? For the toolbar, press ALT+F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac).

I did a lab in which I dissolved sodium bicarbonate and sodium acetate in water, using a simple styrofoam cup as a calorimeter. For sodium bicarbonate, the temperature decreased from 20.8 degrees Celsius to 16.6 degrees Celsius. For sodium acetate, the temperature decreased from 18.4 degrees Celsius to 17.5 degrees Celsius. I used 150 mL of water to dissolve sodium bicarbonate, and 32.5 mL of water to dissolve sodium acetate. I used 15 grams of sodium bicarbonate and 3.25 grams of sodium acetate. I calculated that -2.64 kJ was released in the reaction for sodium bicarbonate, and -0.122 kJ was released in the reaction for sodium acetate. I also calculated that 0.18 moles of sodium bicarbonate were used and 0.0396 moles of sodium acetate was used. I then got -14.67 kJ/mol as the molar heat of solution for sodium bicarbonate, and -3.08 kJ/mol for the molar heat of solution for sodium acetate. However, when I calculate the percent errors, I am getting numbers of over 100. Did I do…
A sample of water in a constant pressure calorimeter has a temperature of 23.4 ̊C. (You may assume the heat capacity of the calorimeter is negligible). If you put 28.6 g of aluminum at a temperature of 96.2 ̊C into this water and the final temperature is 26.1 ̊C, what volume of water is in the calorimeter? You may assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL.
