Abstract:

In this experiment, the heats of combustion of both Rice Chex and Corn Chex were determined. Rice Chex had a caloric value of and Corn Chex had a value of 3911.35 ? 39.25 cal/g and 4116.91 ? 18.43 cal/g. These values were considered to be significantly different from the literature values of 3871 cal/g for the Rice Chex and 3667 cal/g for the Corn Chex. In addition, upon comparison between the experimental values, it was discovered that Corn Chex has more calories then Rice Chex. The literature values showed the opposite trend.
