Marshmallow Calorimetry

~Marshmallow Calorimetry~

In this lab I learned a lot about how energy is transferred as well as how much energy can be in something. A small marshmallow could have more energy per gram than a large marshmallow. I learned that not everything is as straight-forward as it would seem. 

Extension (3) : We could use ice and the formula q=mHf to calculate the heat emitted from the marshmallow by knowing the ices temperature. We know the melting and boiling point of ice, there-go we can know the amount of temperature change that the ice went through when the heat was emitted from the marshmallow.
