Procedures.
First we measured 50 milliliters of water using the graduated cylinder and poured in the soda. Then attached the soda can to the ring stand. Next scarlet and I put a thermometer into the soda can from the top and attach the thermometer to the ring sand making sure that it did not touch the bottom of the can but was still surrounded by water. Then we recorded the temperature of the water which was 20*C. Underneath the soda can we put a cork with a pin sticking upwards. Then we massed the small piece of a cracker its mass was 0.32 grams. Then we put the cracker onto the pin so it is about 2 inches under the can. Next we put a piece of tin foil that covered the bottom of the soda can all the way down to the table. Before we closed the tinfoil all around the experiment, we used a match to light the piece of cracker on fire and closed the tinfoil up to keep the hot air from getting out. When the cracker stopped burning scarlet and I took the temperature of the hot water which was 27*C. Then we massed the burned cracker and that was 0.04 grams. We then had to find the water temperature change, to find that we subtracted the highest water temperature and the beginning temperature. The water temperature change was 7*C. Using the water temperature change we can find the total calories. We had multiplied the water mass by the water temperature change. The total calories was 350. Then we found the total amount of kilocalories. We did that by dividing the total amount of calories by 1000. That was 1,000 kilocalories. Then we found out how many kilocalories per gram by the total amount of kilocalores divided by the mass of food burned. We got 2,857.14.
fell free to make any changes it may be confusing. i dont even get some of the stuff i said.
