A sample of 2.10 g of coconut oil was burned in a coffee cup calorimeter filled with 500.0 g of water. The heat released caused the temperature of the water to increase 36.1°C. Note: heat capacity, C, of the water is 1.00 cal/g °C. Calculate the caloric content of the coconut oil in nutritional calories per gram. Recall that 1 nutritional calorie (Cal) = 1 kcal.
