A student wants to know the number of food Calories in their favorite snack. They burn their snack under a can of water to measure the energy transfer and record the following information: Mass of water: 200g Water temperature before burning (Ti): 25oC. Water temperature after burning (Tf): 45oC. The Specific Heat (Cp) of water is 1 chemistry calorie/g oC   Calculate the number of chemistry calories of Heat transferred to water using the following formula:  Q= M * Cp * (Tf -Ti)
