Humans obtain all of their energy requirements from the food they eat. The amount of energy in food can be measured using a bomb calorimeter. The following are steps, in random order, that are taken to determine experimentally the energy content of a sample of a food, using a bomb calorimeter.
1. Measure the rise in temperature.
2. Fill the calorimeter with water and wait until the temperature has reached a steady value.
3. Accurately weigh the sample of the food and place it inside the sealed compartment or 'bomb' in the presence of excess oxygen.
4. Measure the rise in temperature again.
5. Pass a measured amount of electrical energy into the system.
6. Ignite the sample with electrical ignition wires.
