Flamin’ Hot Cheetos! (and Other Foods) Safety: * Follow all instructions carefully. Eating, drinking, and gum chewing are not permitted. Safety goggles will be wom during all activities. Report any accident or injury to your instructor IMMEDIATELY. Tie back long hair and do not wear loose/baggy clothing or dangling jewelry. Sandals or open-toed shoes are not permitted. * Know the locations/procedures of all safety equipment, specifically fire extinguishers, safety blanket, and electric/gas shut off8. Proper procedures will be followed when using * any heating/flame producing device. Never leave a flame unattended. Do not put anything in the flame unless instructed to do so. Never reach over a flame. Heated metals remain hot for a long time. They should be set aside to cool and picked up with caution, Burning Calories: A Calorimetry Lab on the Energy Content of Food All human activity requires “burning” food for energy. How much energy is released when food burns in the body? How is the caloric content of food determined? Let’s investigate the caloric content of different snack foods such as marshmallows, cheetos, and cashews. 1, What kind of relationship do you think exists between the number of calories in a food sample and the change in temperature of the water when sample is heated? me water becomes HOME 2. Create a hypothesis describing what you think will happen. As me number oF calories NELASES, he water Femperatucd ere After creating a hypothesis set up your calorimeter using the procedure below. Materials: Balance Matches/lighter Calorimeter (Soda Can) Cheetos/Marshmallows/Cashews Cork and pin Temperature Probe Graduated cylinder, 50-mL ‘Water Labquest Software PopcomCalorimeter Setup: -Obsain a clean, empty soda can, Measure and record its mass. 13-50. 4 13.98 0 Add about 50 mL. of tap water to the can and measure the combined masé of the can aid water. 6). QO -Bend the top tab on can up and slide a straw through the hole. Suspend the can on a ring stand using a metal ring, Adjust the height of the can so that it is about 2.5 cm above the food holder. Insert a thermometer into the can and measure the initial temperature. Do not move on to the following procedure until the instructor has checked your calorimeter setup. Once your setup has been checked follow the procedure below for three different food samples. Procedure: -Place a food sample on the food holder. Measure and record the combined mass of the food holder and sample, Place the food holder on a ring stand. -Light the food sample and center it under the can. Allow the water to be heated until the food sample stops burning. Record the maximum (final) temperature of the water in, the can, -Measure and record the final mass of the food holder and sample. -Clean the bottom of the can and remove any residue from the food holder. -Repeat the procedure with a second and third food sample, -Record your data for each trial in the table below.
