A lab group sets up a lab to burn a Dorito and find the number of Calories it releases as it burns. They set up an aluminum can

with 10.0 mL of water, and take the temperature of the water, which turns out to be 18.0oC. They then measure the mass of their Dorito to be 1.25g. The Dorito is set aflame, then set underneath the aluminum can, which causes the temperature of their water to rise to 35.0oC. They find the mass of the Dorito, after burning, to be 1.00g
How many Calories per gram are released by the burning Dorito?

Formula for Calories: Calories = (mass of water)(temp change of water)(0.001 Cal/goC)

Calories per gram are released by the burning Dorito is 1.4 cal/g.

<h3>What are calories?</h3>

Calories are a measurement of the energy content in foods.

Foods such as containing fats are rich in calories.

The amount of calories released per gram y the burning Dorito id determined using the formula below:

  • Calories = (mass of water)(temp change of water)(0.001 Cal/g°C)

mass of water = 10 g

temperature change = 35°C

Calories = 10 * 35 * 0.001

Calories = 0.35 calories

mass of Dorito burnt = 1.25 - 1.00 = 0.25g

Calories per gram are released by the burning Dorito = 0.35 calories/0.25 g

Calories per gram are released by the burning Dorito = 1.4 cal/g

In conclusion, the energy released by burning foods are given in calories.

How much energy in joules is released when 18.5 grams of copper cools from 285 °C<br> down to 45 °C
nadya68 [22]

Answer: 1709.4 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of Heat Energy (Q) released on cooling a heated substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since Q = ?

M = 18.5 grams

Recall that the specific heat capacity of copper C = 0.385 J/g.C

Φ = 285°C - 45°C = 240°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 18.5grams x 0.385 J/g.C x 240°C

Q = 1709.4 Joules

Thus, 1709.4 Joules is released when copper is cooled.

Which plate, oceanic or continental, must be more dense?
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Oceanic & Continental Plates

The oceanic plate is denser and sinks due to its lower buoyancy. It's sucked into the asthenosphere and is melted deeper into the Earth, called a subduction zone. The continental plate is less dense and floats over the top of it since it is more buoyant

Identify what kind of ligand (weak or strong), what kind of wavelength (long or short), what kind of spin (high spin or low spin
anzhelika [568]

To find - Identify what kind of ligand (weak or strong), what kind

              of wavelength (long or short), what kind of spin (high spin or

              low spin) and whether it is paramagnetic or diamagnetic for

              the following complexes.

              1. [Mn(CN)6]4-

              2. [Fe(OH)(H2O)5]2

              3. [CrCl4Br2]3-

Step - by - Step Explanation -

1.

[Mn(CN)⁶]⁴⁻ :

Ligand - Strong

Wavelength - Short

Spin - Low spin

Number of unpaired electrons = 1 ∴ paramagnetic.

2.

[Fe(OH)(H₂O)₅]²⁺ :

Ligand - Weak ( both OH⁻ and H₂O )

Wavelength - Long

Spin - High spin

Number of unpaired electrons = 5 ∴ paramagnetic.

3.

[CrCl₄Br₂]³⁻ :

Ligand - Weak ( both Br⁻ and Cl⁻ )

Wavelength - Long

Spin - High spin

Number of unpaired electrons = 3 ∴ paramagnetic.

The Ka of carbonic acid is 4.3 x 10-7.
ratelena [41]

Answer:

poor hydrogen-ion donor

Explanation:

Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

Note these as a rule of thumb:

When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.

When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.

Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.
