Calorimetry Lab

Which foods have the most calories? Hypothesis If we burn the food then the thawing released will be measured as calories because the energy stored Inside Is released as heat and light. Parts of the experiment Control Group-water system Experimental Group- different foods autarkic variable- Type of food Dependent Variable- temperature of water Controlled variables- water temperature of unheated water Materials Stirring Rod, Beaker, ring clamp, evaporating disk, matches, crackers, marshmallows Analysis Questions 1 . Which foods gave off the most calories/ one thousand?Marshmallows 2. Which foods gave off the least calories/gram? The chips give off the least, when they were burned we cognise they had the least. 3. How do these results compare with your prediction? The result are somewhat ilk my prediction, I predicted that when the food is burned it will release heat and light.I desire this lab because its a way to figure UT certain things inside food substances. I probably would not take the cartridge holder appear to try it out at home, but I did like the lab. despite us being very careful with trying to make everything stainless I dont think everything was so accurate. However scientists do this all the time to fugue out the calories of foods, so it is still a legit experiment. The temperatures did not careen drastically it was mostly around 4 or 4. 5 degrees Celsius. address Mar. 2013. Web. 14 May 2014. Http//www. Chem Davidson.
