Question

a scientist would compare data collected with a bomb calorimeter to accepted values of caloric content in a specific food by ___. recording detailed observations on the intensity and amount of flame produced calculating the percent difference between the data collected and data on a nutrition label describing the values listed on a nutrition label

Explanation:

To compare experimental data (from bomb - calorimeter) with accepted values (nutrition label), calculating percent difference is a standard method in science to quantify the discrepancy. Recording flame details doesn't directly compare to accepted values, and just describing label values doesn't involve comparison.

Answer:

calculating the percent difference between the data collected and data on a nutrition label
