A food provides enough energy to raise the temperature of 2000 grams of water by 10°c contains 20 KCa.

1 Calorie is the amount of heat needed to elevate one gram of water to one degree Celsius temperature at one atmosphere of pressure.

The term "kilocalorie" is used to describe the amount of energy needed to increase 1 L of water's temperature by one degree Celsius at sea level.

Given

Mass of water (m) = 2000 g
Temp raise (ΔT) = 10°C

Heat capacity of water (C) =  1 calorie/g-C

Formula used

Heat (ΔH) = m × C × ΔT

                = 2000 × 10 = 20000 C

In Kilo calories

20000 C = 20000/1000 = 20 KCa

Hence, a food provides enough energy to raise the temperature of 2000 grams of water by 10°c contains 20 KCa.

0.2(x+240)= ml of alcohol in (x+240) ml of a 20% alcohol mixture

0.15*240 + 0.4x = 0.2(x+240)

Sophie [7]

Answer:

[CO2] > [N2] > [He]

Explanation:

The relative concentration of CO2, N2 and He depends on the solubility of each gas in water. The more soluble in water a gas is, the greater its concentration in aqueous solution.

Among the gases listed, CO2 is most soluble in water hence it is expected to have the greatest concentration in solution followed by N2. Helium gas is insoluble in water hence it has the least concentration in the aqueous solution.

Does a metal conduct electricity in the solid state?
ad-work [718]
Metal atoms have outer electrons which are not tied to any one atom. These electrons can move freely within the structure of a metal when an electric current is applied. There are no such free electrons in covalent or ionic solids, so electrons can't flow through them - they are non-conductors.

In a shorter term - no

What is the mole ratio of NH3 to N2?
Ksenya-84 [330]
To answer this question a balanced chemical equation is necessary. The correct equation is: N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
From this equation, one mole of nitrogen react with 3 moles of hydrogen to give 2 moles of ammonia.
Therefore, the mole ratio of NH3 to N2 is 2:1
