Keith Shearer Lab Group 3 January 19‚ 2015 Objective Is to measure various food items and become familiar with different energy units like calories and joules. Also‚ we will be using simple household products and follow the standard safety procedures of this lab. Materials Procedure First‚ use a digital scale to determine the empty weight of the 100ml beaker. The‚ you are going to fill the beaker half way with water (approximately 50ml) and weigh it again. Take the water and beaker weight

Experiment Date: 11/22/2014 Date Submitted: 11/25/2014 TITLE: Caloric Content of Food PURPOSE: To measure the energy content of various food items‚ as well as become familiar with energy units like calories and joules. PROCEDURE: First‚ weigh your empty beaker‚ fork‚ beaker with half water‚ mass of marshmallow walnut popcorn‚ and the test tube holder. Then record the temp of the water in the breaker. The next thing you do is light the marshmallow on the fork and hold under the beaker making sure

Caloric Content of Food Introduction: I will test different foods to figure out how much energy they contain. Materials and Methods: I filled a beaker half full and put the food I was testing under it and lit it up; after recording the water temperature. Then I recorded the mass of the ashes and I recorded the temperature one last time. I repeated the process for the other test foods as well. Results: See table below Discussion: This lab helped me learn how to measure the amount of

requires “burning” food for energy. How much energy is released when food burns in the body? How is the calorie content of food determined? Let’s investigate the calorie content of different snack foods‚ such as popcorn‚ peanuts‚ marshmallows‚ and cheese puffs. Concepts • Combustion reaction • Calorimetry • Nutritional Calorie • Calorie content of foods Background What does it mean to say that we burn food in our bodies? The digestion and metabolism of food converts the chemical

Chem 110 09/26/2013 MODULE 5: Caloric Content of Food A) ABSTRACT: This laboratory exercise deals with on how to determine the caloric content of food by creating our own calorimeter. Measuring the energy content of three different food samples by using the change in water temperatures from the heat given off while burning the sample. To verify our results much further — equations‚ such as energy and heat capacity calculations‚ helped us establish on such results. As a result of the experiment
