Two students are trying to figure out the Calories per gram of potato chips. They burn part of the potato chip and feel the heat. They decide to measure this heat by putting a can of water above the burning potato chip so they can measure the heat gained by the water. 1 Calorie is equal to 1,000 calories

4.184 J = 1 cal

Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C

They collect the following data:

mass of potato chip before burning 0.58 g
mass of potato chip after burning 0.40 g
mass of water in can 50.9 g
initial temperature of water 21.7 °C
final temperature of water 23.8 °C

How many Cal were released by potato chip? Round your answer to 2 decimal places

The chemical composition of soil varies with depth. an article in communications in soil science and plant analysis describes chemical analyses of soil taken from a farm in western australia. fifty specimens were each taken at depths 50 and 250 cm. at a depth of 50 cm, the average no3 concentration (in mg/l) was 88.5 with a standard deviation of 49.4. at a depth of 250 cm, the average concentration was 110.6 with a standard deviation of 51.5. find a 95% confidence interval for the difference in no3 concentrations at the two depths.
