Explain bomb calorimeter with a specific heat capacity

Reference no: EM13190891

a manufacturer claims that their new candy bar contains fewer than 40 Calories per serving. As a technician in an independent laboratory, you use a bomb calorimeter with a specific heat capacity of 7.35J/gC. When one serving of the candy bar is burned, the temperature increases by 18.9 degrees C. Is the manufacturer's claim correct? (mass of H2O= 5.80 x 10^2g; mass of calorimeter = 1500.0g).
