9 kwi 2024 · Investigating the energy content of food samples diagram. Different food samples can be burned in a simple calorimetry experiment to compare the energy contents of the samples
A large increase in temperature indicates the food contains a lot of energy. The results obtained from this experiment are usually lower than the actual energy content of the food because during...
Calculate the amount of energy needed to cause that temperature increase. This gives an estimate of the amount of energy stored in the food. The apparatus is very simple and the protocol gives only a very approximate estimate for each foodstuff, so there is scope for students to suggest improvements in an evaluation.
Answers. Different foods. Mini-marshmallows, crisps, pasta, bread, potatoes, bacon, broad beans (dried) and cheese can be used. Students could weigh any unburnt food. Data logging sensors and software can be used in this experiment to provide a large screen display of the temperature change.
23 wrz 2024 · Use a calorimeter to determine the number of calories in 3 samples of food. Construct a model to illustrate the flow of energy through a calorimetry experiment. and relate the model to what happens in cells.
After digestion, food is generally converted into glucose and combined with oxygen in a combustion reaction to generate energy for your body. When measuring the energy content of food in the lab, water is the medium that is used to monitor this heat that is generated.
