Use the data below from a calorimetry lab to determine the energy generated from burning a potato chip.
How many Calories were:
a. transferred to the water? (show your work)
b. contained in the potato chip? (show your work)
A. Calories released= 7.3 Calories
b. 7.3 Calories because the energy absorbed by the water is equal to the energy released by the chip
