1) What is the recommended mass of analyte to be placed in combustion cup? What may happen if this value is
exceeded significantly?

2) Before firing the bomb, the temperature is read a number of times. What is the interval and number of
readings suggested for this process?

3) The calorie and the joule are both units of energy. What is the conversion factor to convert calories into
joules? The Calorie unit (capital “C”) is often used to measure nutritional energy equivalents. How many calories
(lower case “c”) are there in one Calorie?

kJ/mole, that implies the molecular weight, assume the cereal is pure carbohydrate, write a balanced equation, and go
from there). Strictly you should correct ΔEcomb. to ΔHcomb., but they turn out to be nearly identical for cereal (why?).
Compare your experimental value with a “literature” value and explain any difference. Quote the reference source. (The
latter will be the box in the supermarket if your sample was a cereal). Also, compare the value with glucose. Explain any
significant differences from the latter.
