How is a calorimeter used in this experiment different from the ones used to find the energy content of a snack

Kindly check the explanation section.

Explanation:

PS: Note that enough information are not being provided and we do not know the experiment this question is all about. However, some information are provided below which is going to aid in solving when you get access to the main question.

The determination of the heat transferred from one substance to another is one of the important aspect in science. The method in which this heat is being measured is known as calorimetry and the instrument used in this technique is known as the calorimeter.

When the energy content of a snack is needed to be calculated, there is the need use a type of instrument known as bomb calorimeter.

Most of the calorimeters used by students are not so expensive like the used in the industries. Most of these calorimeters operates at a constant pressure while the Bomb Calorimeter operates at constant volume.

the dependant variable is spilled water

the independent is the heat
