Extend your thinking: In addition to calculating specific heat capacities, some calorimeters can be used to determine how much energy is in food. The energy in food is usually expressed in calories or kilocalories (Calories). A calorie is the amount of energy needed to change the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 C. There are 1,000 calories in a Calorie.
A. How many joules are in 1 calorie? (The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C.)
B. Suppose a snack bar is burned in a calorimeter and heats 2,000 g water by 20 °C. How much heat energy was released? (Hint: Use the specific heat equation.) Give your answer in both joules and calories.
C. How many kilocalories (Calories) does the snack bar contain?

I'm learning about the periodic tables and what each subject's configuration is. for example, hydrogen is 1s^1, but i don't understand how you get that. can someone me understand how to figure out how to figure this out? sorry if the question makes no sense, but it would really a lot if you could me understand! you so much if you can!
