Bomba Kalorimetresi Simülasyonu

Kalorimetreyle besinlerin enerji içeriğini ölçme

Thermochemistry Intermediate (High School) 45 dak ~$10,00

Hedef

Farklı besinlerin enerji (kalori) içeriğini yakarak ve suya aktarılan ısıyı ölçerek belirlemek.

Arka Plan

A simple food calorimeter uses the heat from burning food to raise the temperature of water. By measuring the mass of food burned and the temperature rise of the water, the energy content can be calculated. This demonstrates why some foods have more calories than others.

Güvenlik Uyarıları

  • Open flame — keep flammables away
  • Burning food produces smoke — ventilate
  • The can will get hot — do not touch with bare hands

Malzemeler

  • Food samples (10 g each)
    Peanuts, cashews, marshmallows, chips
  • Distilled water (400 mL)
  • Aluminum foil (1 sheet)
    For makeshift shield

Ekipman

Empty aluminum soda can Ring stand and ring Needle or pin (mounted) Lighter Thermometer Analytical balance (0.01 g)

Prosedür

1

Measure 100 mL of water and pour into the soda can. Record the initial temperature.

3 dak
2

Set up the can on the ring stand. Position a mounted needle below the can to hold the food sample.

5 dak
3

Weigh a food sample (e.g., one peanut) accurately. Impale it on the needle.

2 dak
4

Light the food sample with the lighter. Position it under the can to heat the water.

5 dak Open flame — be careful
5

When the food stops burning, immediately stir and record the maximum water temperature.

2 dak Can is hot
6

Calculate energy: q = m(water) × c × ΔT. Convert to kJ/g or Cal/g.

5 dak
7

Repeat for different food types. Compare measured values with nutritional labels.

15 dak
8

Discuss why measured values are lower than label values (heat lost to surroundings).

Beklenen Sonuçlar

Nuts (high fat) should give the highest energy per gram (~25 kJ/g measured vs ~25 kJ/g label). Marshmallows (sugar) ~15 kJ/g. Measured values will be 30-50% lower than label values due to heat losses.

Temizlik

Allow everything to cool. Dispose of food residue. Rinse the can and clean the work area.
