A gram of fat stores more energy than a gram of starch due to more C-H bonds  within fat molecules relative to starch molecules.

The energy released/stored by nutrients is known as calorific value.

The calorific value of a  substance is expressed in kilo calories(kcal).

1 kcal is defined the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 °C.

The physiological calorific value of fats and carbohydrates is 9.0 kcal/g and 4.0 kcal/g respectively.

As it is evident from these values that the energy stored per gram of fat is more than the energy stored per gram of starch.

Now, the reason behind this difference in energies between these two molecules is due to the different number of C-H bonds present in them, as is evident from the adjoining images.

Therefore, A gram of fat stores more energy than a gram of starch due to more C-H bonds within fat molecules relative to starch molecules.

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

        ^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n                       ⇒        ^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy

total mass equals 236.053 u              total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation  E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy  holds for this type of reaction (i.e  the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u

Application: Address incorrect information and explain correct reasoning
Flauer [41]

Atomic radius decreases with the increase of atomic number and mass number because the nuclear charge attracts the outermost shell leads to lower distance of the atom.

<h3>What is the trend of atomic radius across the periodic table?</h3>

Atomic radius decreases when we go from left to right to a period and increases down a group. In a period, effective nuclear charge increases as electron shielding remains the same. An atom gets larger as the number of orbits or shells increases. The radius of atoms increases as you go down the group in the periodic table. The size of an atom will decrease as you move from left to the right in a period. Within a period, protons are added to the nucleus which attracts electrons closer to the nucleus because of its increased positive charge i.e. proton. So that's why we can say that the force of attraction between nuclei and electrons increases, the atomic radius of the atoms decreases.

So we can conclude that Atomic radius decreases with the increase of atomic number and mass number because the nuclear charge attracts the outermost shell leads to lower distance of the atom.

How many atoms are present in 2.1 moles of Fe
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

1.3 x 10²⁴ atoms Fe

Explanation:

To convert moles to atoms, you need to multiply your given value by Avogadro's Number. This causes the conversion to occur because Avogadro's Number exists as a ratio. It is the ratio that allows for the cancellation of units during multiplication. This is why atoms should be in the numerator of your conversion. The final answer should have 2 sig figs to reflect the given value.

Avogadro's Number:

1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ atoms

2.1 moles Fe          6.022 x 10²³ atoms
---------------------  x  -------------------------------  =  1.3 x 10²⁴ atoms Fe
                                        1 mole
