Question
Can you help me, please?
**Prelab Questions:**

1. **How much energy is required to raise 125 grams of water from 22.0 °C to 43.2 °C?** The specific heat (S) of water is 1.000 cal/g °C.

2. **An almond weighs 0.823 grams.** When the almond is burned in a calorimeter that contains 124.2 grams of water, the water temperature changes from 23.5 °C to 45.7 °C. The “uncombusted remains” of the almond weigh 0.615 grams.

   a) **Calculate the change in temperature (ΔT) of the water.**

   b) **Calculate the amount of energy that was released from the almond sample.**
   - Assume that all of the energy released from the almond was transferred to the water. Use the specific heat (S) of water (1.000 cal/g °C), the mass of the water that was in the flask, and the temperature change (ΔT) of the water to calculate the amount of energy (Q) that was transferred to the water, and thus the amount of energy that was released from almond.

   c) **Calculate the mass of the almond that was “completely combusted”.** This is done by subtracting the mass of “uncombusted remains” of the almond from the original mass of the almond.

   d) **Calculate the energy per gram of almonds** by dividing the energy that was released from the almond (from part b) by the mass of the almond that was “completely combusted” (from part c).
