There are many different designs of calorimeters, but each\nis devised to measure the heat that is either released or absorbed during a\nchemical reaction or phase change.Eisco Lab's Food Calorimeter Kit allows\nstudents to determine the amount of energy released through the burning of\nfood. This easy-to-use method involves measuring the change in temperature of\na sample of water from the combustion of a small amount of food. The included\nexperiment introduces concepts in thermodynamics and leads to an understanding\nof energy and its relation to food consumption. Students can determine the\nenergy caloric content of a sample of food using thermodynamic equation. The\nstored energy inside the food sample burns and is converted into heat energy\nwhich transfers to the water in the flask above. The temperature change of the\nwater is used to determine the amount of heat that was absorbed by the water,\nand thus the amount of heat released by the burning food. By dividing the\namount of heat transferred by the amount of food burned, students will be able\nto find the energy per gram in the sample, and then compare this to the food's\nnutritional label.
