How is a calorimeter used in this experiment different from the ones used to find the energy content of a snack

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

PS: Note that enough information are not being provided and we do not know the experiment this question is all about. However, some information are provided below which is going to aid in solving when you get access to the main question.

The determination of the heat transferred from one substance to another is one of the important aspect in science. The method in which this heat is being measured is known as calorimetry and the instrument used in this technique is known as the calorimeter.

When the energy content of a snack is needed to be calculated, there is the need use a type of instrument known as bomb calorimeter.

Most of the calorimeters used by students are not so expensive like the used in the industries. Most of these calorimeters operates at a constant pressure while the Bomb Calorimeter operates at constant volume.

the law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products. because atoms are only rearranged in a chemical reaction, there must be the same number of sodium atoms and chlorine atoms in both the reactants and products

number of molecules / avogadro's number * molecule molecular = mass

explanation:

we define a gram-molecular weight as the mass of one mole of any element or compound. a mole contains avogadro's number of units (molecules) –  

6.022

x

10

23

. so, dividing the number of molecules by avogadro's number gives us the number of moles. multiplying that by the molecular weight gives us the mass. from the periodic table we find the gram-molecular weight of u to be238 and of f to be19. so,  

u

f

6

will have a gram-molecular weight of 352g.
