Answer:
3.07 Cal/g
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter
We will use the following expression.
Q = C × ΔT
where,
- C: heat capacity of the calorimeter (37.60 kJ/K = 37.60 kJ/°C)
- ΔT: temperature change (2.29 °C)
Q = 37.60 kJ/°C × 2.29 °C = 86.1 kJ
According to the law of conservation of energy, the heat released by the candy has the same magnitude as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.
Step 2: Convert 86.1 kJ to Cal
We will use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4.186 kJ.
86.1 kJ × 1 Cal/4.186 kJ = 20.6 Cal
Step 3: Calculate the number of Cal per gram of candy
20.6 Cal/6.70 g = 3.07 Cal/g
It has to be A or B bc c and d are just dumb answers
