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
[tex]q=\dfrac{q_{penut\ calorimeter}}{m_{peanut}}[/tex]
Put the value into the formula
[tex]q=\dfrac{0.35}{0.4}[/tex]
[tex]q=0.87\ g[/tex]
Hence, The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g
