New Questions and CalculationsReplace #1-6 with this question• Set up a –qlost = qgained equation to solve for the

enthalpy of the reaction in kilocalories/gram– Remember that enthalpy is energy/amount– A kilocalorie is the same as a food calorie– Use averages to perform the calculations

7. Calculate the percent error using the info from the next slide
