6 Oliver investigates the amount of energy in different foods.
Look at the diagram.
It shows the equipment he uses.
thermometer
test-tube
10 cm3 of water
burning food
mounted needle
Oliver:
• measures 1 g of food
• puts 10 cm3 of water into a test-tube
• measures the starting temperature of the water
• sets the food on fire
• holds the burning food under the test-tube until the food stops burning
• measures the final temperature of the water.
Oliver repeats the experiment using different foods.
(a) Explain why Oliver uses the same mass of food each time.
