A cashew is burned in a soda can calorimeter, and heats up 0.245 kg of water by 3.65 °C. The calorimeter was calibrated and had a calorimetry constant of 8.50 kcal/kg•°C. Given that fat contains 9.00 kcal/g, calculate the mass in g of the fat contained in the cashew. Assume that the cashew is composed primarily of fat.
