A student followed the procedure of this experiment to determine the Caloric content of a Planter's cocktail peanut. The peanut studied had a mass of 0.609 g before combustion and 0.053 g after combustion. The energy released during combustion caused a 14.2 degrees C increase in the temperature of 200.0 mL of water in the calorimeter.
1) Calculate the mass of peanut burned.
2) Calculate the mass, in kg, of water present in the calorimeter.
3) Calculate the amount of energy released, in Cal, from the burning peanut.
4) Calculate the amount of energy released per gram of peanut burned.
