According to the law of calorimetry;

Heat given = Heat supplied

"\\implies C_{cal}\\Delta T=m_{bar}*(food value)"

"\\implies C_{cal}=m_{bar}s_{bar}"

"\\implies 6.15*10^3 *1.29=(0.591g)*(food value)"

"\\implies food value=13.424 kJg^{-1}"

"=3208.38calg^{-1}" (Answer)

(since, "1cal=4.184J" )

Thus food value of the snack bar is "3208.38calg^{-1}" .
