Explain How To Find The Amount Of Energy Stored In A Pretzel

Energy keeps all living organisms alive, as they need a continual supply of energy to function in order to survive. Some of these processes are continuous such as, metabolism, which is the chemical reactions which occur in the body, these occur by using or releasing energy from chemical substances. Another continuous process which use energy is the transporting of molecules in order for them to break down, and to build new ones. The breakdown of large molecules into their simpler forms to release energy is known as catabolism, for example, when glucose is used in a cell to release energy. And the opposite reaction, is called anabolism. This is when energy is used to build complex structures from simple cells, for example, tissue growth and

The independent variable in the experiment was the mass (or amount) of the cheese and bacon balls.

The study of the quantitative relationships between the amounts of reactants used and the amounts of products formed by a chemical reaction is called stoichiometry.

* The potential energy stored in the bonds that hold molecules together is called chemical energy.

Aim: To plan, conduct, evaluate and report on an investigation of chemical changes, and make recommendations for their use as an energy source in Heat-and-Eat meal packs.

Introduction Calorimetry is the measurement of heat absorbed or released during a chemical reaction, and in this experiment calorimetry is used to measure the amount of calories in a variety of snack foods. This is related to the saturated fat content of said snack foods. The experiment is done by setting an apparatus to burn each piece of food under a soda can full of water, this is called soda can calorimetry. A unique setup was used to determine the caloric content in each snack food. The foods used were tortilla corn chips, Lays potato chips, Cheetos Puffs, and Doritos.

In this experiment you will observe some physical and some chemical changes. You will observe that energy must be used to start some chemical reactions, and that it is produced in others.

bonds between H2O2, it is releasing energy in the form of heat which is reason for the warmth of

Mass of water x 4.2 (water’s specific heat capacity) x temperature change = energy transferred from the fuel to the water

Introduction: The theory behind this experiment is the heat of a reaction (∆E) plus the work (W) done by a reaction is equal to

Calorimetry is the science of measuring the change in heat absorbed or released during a chemical reaction. The change in heat can tell us if the reaction is either exothermic - it released or heat into surroundings, or endothermic - it absorbed heat from surroundings. The device used to measure calorimetry is a calorimeter. A calorimeter can range from very expensive lab ones to coffee styrofoam cups but they are all tightly sealed in order to prevent heat from escaping.

Metabolism is the word for every chemical reaction that takes place within a living organism. The energy is released from the food by respiration.

Introduction: Every chemical change is accompanied by a change in energy usually in the form of heat. If heat is evolved, the reaction is exothermic, and if heat is absorbed, the reaction is endothermic. The energy change of a reaction that occurs at constant pressure is called the heat of reaction or the enthalpy of reaction (ΔHr). This quantity of heat is measured experimentally by allowing the reaction to occur in a calorimeter. In this experiment you will determine the heat of neutralization when an acid and a base react to form 1 mole of water. In a perfect calorimeter, heat is exchanged only between the reaction and the calorimeters water. Technically, some heat may may be absorbed the calorimeter. All calorimeters exchange some heat with its environment. This amount of heat is called the calorimeters heat capacity (the amount of of heat required to raise its temperature 1∘Celsius). We are going to “pretend” that our calorimeter is the perfect calorimeter.

It’s important to understand that it takes energy to break bonds and that energy is released when bonds are formed.

The energy is given out when forming the bonds between the new water and carbon dioxide molecules. The amount of energy produced by such exothermic reactions can be calculated by using the formula Mass of the substance x rise in temp x SHC (specific heat capacity). The
