\"burn<\/p>\n

\n

This is a particular method that measures energy in a peanut. A peanut burns producing an impressive amount of flame for a long time. The flame is used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.<\/p>\n

Equation for calculating the calories in a peanut:\u00a0To raise the temperature of 10 grams of water from 20 \u00b0C to 100 \u00b0C it takes:<\/p>\n

Q = mcDT<\/span><\/p>\n

Or, use the following equation to calculate the calories per gram of the peanut: <\/span><\/p>\n

calories per gram = (heat gained by water)\/(mass lost when peanut burned)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is another way of doing the experiment.<\/p>\n
