Q

If food is burnt and energy release it can be used to heat water.
The equation to calculate energy in 1 g of food is:

Rise in temperature x volume of water x 4.2

If l burnt 5g of crisps and the temperature of 100cm3 of water went from 20 to 90 degrees C. How much energy in 1 g?

A

5g of crisps
Temperature rise = 70

Rise in temp x volume x 4.2 =
70 x 100 x 4.2 = 29400J in 5 g
In 1g of crisp then 29400/5 = 5880J
