Description
This calorimeter is designed specifically to determine the caloric content of various foodstuffs. A flask containing a known mass of water is suspended in the calorimeter chamber. A nut of known mass is placed beneath the flask and burned. Heat from the burned nut heats up the water in the flask and raises its temperature. Using the increase in water temperature, students calculate the caloric content of the food.
