Calorimetry
ANALYZE AND CONCLUDE
1. Analyze Based on the energy in 1 g of sample, were your predictions correct?
What might have accounted for any differences between your predictions and
the actual values?
orange
1. _________________ (fewest number of Calories per gram)
banana
2. _________________
chicken
3. _________________
tortilla
4. _________________
5. _________________
chocolate (greatest number of Calories per gram)

2. Evaluate How might multiple trials improve the accuracy of your results?
If we were to do multiple trials, that wold benefit us in the sense that we would then be able
_______________________________________________________________
to get an average of them all instead of just the one number
_______________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________
3. Apply How can this information be used to help plan a healthful diet?

starting a diet, to have little fat.

5. Compare and Contrast What is the relationship between the release of
energy in the form of heat and Calories?
Calories are the amount of heat released. So when the food get's burned, and the end result is
