Calculate the amount of energy (in Calories) released during the combustion of a peanut that heats up 100 g of water from 20 °C to 65 °C. (Note: Food Calories are given in kilocalories where 1 Calorie = 1 kcal = 1000 cal). Show all work.

Step 1
First, we need to calculate the amount of energy required to heat up 100 g of water from 20 °C to 65 °C. We can use the formula for heat transfer: Q = mcΔT, where m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in Show more…

A sample of 0.750 g of peanut butter was burned in a calorimeter filled with 300.0 g of water. The heat released caused the temperature of the water to increase by 14.6°C. Note: the heat capacity, C, of the water is 1.00 cal/g·°C. Calculate the caloric content of the peanut butter in nutritional calories per gram. Remember, a nutritional calorie (C) is 1 kcal.

A 2.96 g peanut is burned in a bomb calorimeter containing 1,660 g of water. The temperature of the water increases from 25.49°C to 28.98°C. Calculate the energy released per gram of peanut. (The specific heat of water is 1.000 cal/g·°C.)
