6.

Experimental Set-up for Calories in a Chocolate Chip Cookie Students designed an experiment to determine the amount of calories in a chocolate chip cookie. A ring stand was used with a clean aluminum soda can hung from the ring that was partially filled with a known mass of water. A thermometer was placed inside the can so that it measured the temperature of the water but did not touch any part of the metal can. Once set-up was complete, an initial water temperature was taken. The cookie was then lit on fire and allowed to completely burn. A final temperature of the water was measured.

Refer to the experimental set-up for calories in a chocolate chip cookie. How does this experiment allow students to measure the calories in a cookie?

a)

The difference in masses before and after the cookie is burned is calculated, then converted into heat energy.

b)

Heat energy from the burning cookie is transferred to the water. The change in water temperature is used to calculate the heat energy from the cookie.

c)

Data from the amount of time for the cookie to burn and the temperature change are used to calculate the heat energy from the cookie.

d)

The cookie is burned until the water reaches a boiling temperature, then masses are compared to calculate the heat energy from the cookie.
