Lucerito Lopez Post Lab Questions: 1. Calculate how many calories were transferred to the water by the marshmallow.

(use the equation: Q = m*C*T Q = m*C* T 1!".# = $%.&*1*$ '. (i)ide this number of calories by the *rams of the marshmallows that burned u+ to *i)e you the number of calories +er *ram in a marshmallow. 1!".# , % = '1#.& calories , *ram $.-arshmallows actually contain $.$$ calories +er *ram. .ased on this/ calculate what +ercent of the heat you lost to the air around the calorimeter. 0 = '1#.& 1!! $.$$ (cross multi+ly 0 = 1/#%! +ercent lost #. 2e+eat ste+s 1 throu*h $ for a cheeto. 3ol)e the ratio below to fi*ure out the actual calories +er *ram in a Cheeto. 1. Q = m*C* T "1#.# = $1.# * 1 *'1 '. "1#.#,." = 1/!4' calories,*ram $. $.$$ 5ilocalories,*ram 0 = 1/!4'
1!! $.$$

0 = $'/"4' +ercent lost %. 6ow close does your 7# come to the real )alue for the Cheetos (1 calories,*ram 8 9 *ot 1"'/%&4 cal,* and the actual Cheeto is 1 cal,*. -y number is much lar*er than the Cheeto (1cal,* . The human error that could +ossible had made this ha++en was the amount of water that was ori*inally +ut in while burnin* the Cheetoh.
