PERFORMANCE TASK
CALORIMETRY
(MODULE 5B)
PART 1. Using a food label of your choice. Answer the following. (8 pts)

With your label, find the following information about the macronutrients. (3pts)

Grams of carbohydrate (less dietary fiber) per serving 2

Grams of protein per serving 7g
Grams of fat per serving 16 g

Each of these nutrients supplies energy. Calculate the Caloric content from each nutrient, and then determine the total
Calories per serving. (4pts)
2 Grams of carbohydrate x 4 Calories/gram = 8 Carb Calories

7 Grams of protein x 4 Calories/gram = 28 Protein Calories

16 Grams of fat x 9 Calories/gram = 144 Fat Calories

180 Total Calories

Convert to calories and Joules (3pts)

Calories: 180 g Joules: 753.120 J
calories : 180, 000 calories / 180 kcal

−(Cwater )(masswater )(Tfwater−Tiwater)

Cmetal =
(massmetal)(Tfmetal−Timetal)
= (4.2 J/g°C )(60 g)(5.20 ℃ ) / (45 g)(74.8°C)
= 1310.4 / 3366
= 0.39 J

GENERALIZATION: (5pts)
We saw here the change in energy in order to see the heat of reaction (enthalpy) in order to produce a reaction. In
the calorimetry, we saw in the microscopic view that the metal particles and the water particles are not joining. As
the temperature is increasing, the water particles are moving faster while the metal particles stayed as is since it’s
at solid phase and the particles of the two are not mixing and I think that it means that the temperature is not
enough to change the phase of the metal but it is enough to increase the energy of the water particles.
