Whitney Miller Chemistry 111-D01L 3/31/2013 Calorie Content of Food Purpose: The purpose of this lab was to measure the energy content of three different food items using the change in water temperatures from the heat of the food. Procedure: 1. With your digital scale determine the empty weight of your 100-mL beaker. 2. Half-fill the beaker with water (approximately 50 ml) and weigh it again. 3. The beaker and water weight minus the empty beaker weight is the net weight of water

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

Materials: To complete all steps and smoothly complete the lab we first needed an almond‚ which what will be burned to find the energy and calories. Next we needed a paper clip to straighten out and put the almond on as a safe and efficient way to burn the almond. A scale and small aluminum-weighing dish were needed as well to weigh out the almond and paperclip. The lab also required a graduated cylinder‚ test tube‚ distilled water‚ thermometer‚ a Bunsen burner‚ a sparker‚ a calorimeter and safety

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

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

Lab: Caloric Content of Food Purpose: How many calories are in a peanut? How does it compare to other nuts? Materials: 250 ml beaker‚ ring stand‚ paper clip‚ balance‚ graduated cylinder‚ thermometer‚ aluminum foil‚ peanut‚ 2 other types of nuts‚ lighter. Background information: We measure the energy that foods give us in terms of Calories. A Calorie is the amount of energy required to raise 1000 grams (1 kg) of water one degree Celsius. Our bodies burn up calories through growth and

05/14/2013 7.1 Lab Report- Caloric Content of Food TITLE: LAB 7.1 CALORIC CONTENT OF FOOD PURPOSE: In this lab we will have the opportunity to measure the energy in a variety of foods‚ by heating/burning a portion of the food item and catching the heat released into a known mass of water in a calorimeter. We will also identify units of measuring heat such as calories and joules. We will use basic lab equipment provided in our labpaq and we will use several household items as well. We

Energy content is an important property of food. The energy your body needs for running‚ talking‚ and thinking comes from the food you eat. Energy content is the amount of heat produced by the burning of 1 gram of a substance‚ and is measured in joules per gram (J/g). Usually‚ fat-rich foods like peanuts and cashews provide more energy than just carbohydrates like marshmallows. You can determine the energy content by burning a portion of food and capturing the heat released to a known mass of
