Exactly 3.0 g of carbon was burned to CO2 in a copper calorimeter. The mass of the calorimeter is 1500g, and there is 2000 g of water in the calorimeter. The initial temperature was 20°C, and the final temperature is 31 °C. Calculate the heat given off per gram of carbon. (CCu = 0.093 cal/g·°C). Neglect the small heat capacity of the carbon and carbon dioxide.

Digestingfat produces 9.3 food calories per gram of fat, and typically 80%of this energy goes to heat when metabolized. (One food calorie is1000 calories and therefore equals 4186 J.) The body then movesall this heat to the surface by a combination of thermal conductivityand motion of the blood. The internal temperature of the body(where digestion occurs) is normally 37C, and the surface is usuallyabout 30C. By how much do the digestion and metabolism of a2.50 g pat of butter change your body’s entropy? Does it increase ordecrease?
