Question

Im confused in how to solve this exercise

Certainly! Here is a transcription of the text:

---

**1. You would like to determine how many calories are in 10 grams of chicken that is served in the LaGCC cafeteria. Using your understanding of a bomb calorimeter (Figure 5.18 in your textbook)**

a) Devise a scheme to find how many calories are in the meat and  
b) Assuming the specific heat of chicken is 3.68 J/g°C and the change in temperature was 1.90°C, how many calories are in 10 grams of chicken?

---

In this exercise, you will use the concept of calorimetry to calculate the energy content of a food sample. The specific heat and temperature change provided are essential to determining the caloric value using the formula \( q = mc\Delta T \), where:

- \( q \) is the heat absorbed or released (in joules),
- \( m \) is the mass of the sample (in grams),
- \( c \) is the specific heat capacity (in J/g°C),
- \( \Delta T \) is the change in temperature (in °C).

Please refer to Figure 5.18 in your textbook for a detailed diagram of a bomb calorimeter. The image likely shows the setup of a bomb calorimeter, a device used to measure the heat of combustion of a substance, providing insight into the caloric content of food.

For part b, you'll convert joules to calories using the conversion factor \( 1 \, \text{calorie} = 4.184 \, \text{joules} \).
