Monday, Feb 15th. Today we did a calorimetry activity. We measured the food energy in Cheetos (puffs) and Lay's classic potato chips. We burned small pieces of chips under cans of water and measured the temperature change of the water. With some basic math and the knowledge that one calorie of energy will raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius, we were able to get an approximate measurement of the heat energy released from a burning snack food. Tomorrow we will review for the Chemistry Exam on Wednesday, February 17th.
