Stored Chemical Energy in Nut (Calories)
Posted: Fri Mar 19, 2004 3:25 pm
I'm currently working on a science experiment called "Energy Nuts". In my project I burn several different types of nut. I leave the heat produced from the burning nuts heat the water. I then take the ending waster temp to see which nut contained the most stored chemical energy. Would you be welling to offer any further suggestions in my project. I also need to know what the major variable is in my experiment. I would think it would be the nut but I'm not certain. I have also been told of a formula to calculate the number of calories each not stored. Is it possible you could explain the formula to me?
Your help would be greatly appreciate. I wish to do my best on my project but I think I need a little help.
