Food Calorimeter

Product Code : ILS-BLE-10350

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Food Calorimeter (Product ID: 10350) as part of its biology lab equipment range. It is a simple kit for estimating the energy in a food sample by burning it under a flask of water.

Quick Answer

A small food sample is pinned on the cork-and-nail holder, lit, and burned beneath a 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask of water held on the metal suspension plate in the cylindrical stand. The temperature rise of the water gives the energy released: energy (J) = mass of water (g) × 4.18 × temperature rise (°C). Please confirm at quotation whether a thermometer is included. The burning sample and metal parts get hot: work on a heat-proof mat, tie back hair and wear eye protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the energy calculated?
From the mass of water and its temperature rise, using 4.18 J per gram per °C.

What flask is supplied?
A 25 mL Erlenmeyer flask with rubber stopper.

Is the result exact?
No. Heat lost to the air makes it an estimate.
