B1: ENERGYB.1.1. Calculate the energy value of a food from enthalpy of combustion data
USE THE EQUATION Q = MC ΔT
q = change in heat or energy (J)
m = mass (g)
c = specific heat (J/g ● K)
ΔT = change in temperature (K)
BOMB CALORIMETRY
The specific heat used will be that of water (about 4.184 J/g °C) because the reaction to find q will take place in a bomb calorimeter like the one pictured here
BOMB CALORIMETRY
The food is placed in the steel “bomb” where it is combusted
The ignition unit causes the combustion to occur within the bomb by heating up the sample
The thermometer measures the temperature increase as the reaction within the bomb occurs, the water absorbing the heat that is released
The stirrer ensures that the water’s temperature is staying the same within the dewar
USE THE EQUATION Q = MC ΔT
If asked to find the calories in the food (rather than Joules), convert q to calories by dividing the number of Joules by 4.184
The answer is generally in the form of J/g, kJ/g, J●g/mol, kJ●g/mol, cal/g, kcal/g, etc.
*** 1 cal = 4.184 J ***
