- (a) The number of kilocalories in food is determined by calorimetry techniques in which the food is burned and the amount at heat transfer is measured. How many kilocalories per gram are there in a 5.00g peanut if the energy from burning it is transferred to 0.500 kg of water held in a 0.100kg aluminum cup, causing a 54.9C temperature increase? (b) Compare your answer to labeling information found on a package of peanuts and comment on whether the values are consistent.arrow_forwardA 4ton air conditioner removes 5.60107J (48,000 British thermal units) from a cold environment in 1.00 h.
