When 1.0 gram of candy bar was placed in a bomb calorimeter and ignited, the temperature rose from 23.8 °C to 42.9 °C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 1023 J/°C (which includes the contribution from the water jacket).
a)Calculate the energy released per gram of candy bar in terms of kJ.
b) If each Halloween snack-sized candy bar is 15 g, how many Calories are consumed once you polish off a handful (6 candy bars) of Trick-or-Treating loot? (1 Calorie = 1 kcal)
Now, I have no idea how to even approach this. All my notes include the mass of water in the calorimeter.
