Answer 1

Answer:

The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

Explanation:

Given that,

A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut.

During the experiment, the  measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

Suppose, the mass of peanut is 0.4 g and find the

We need to calculate the heat generated per gram of sample in calories

Using formula of heat generated

$q=\dfrac{q_{penut\ calorimeter}}{m_{peanut}}$

Put the value into the formula

$q=\dfrac{0.35}{0.4}$

$q=0.87\ g$

Hence, The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g
