1500kj = 15x 10^5 j
1 calorie = 4.18 j
(15 x 10^5)/4.18= 3.58 x 10^5

Answer is a

Answer is: a. 3.6 x 10^5 calories.

E = 1500 kJ; heat energy.

E = 1500 kJ · 1000 J/kJ.

E = 1500000 J = 1.5·10⁶ J.

E = 1.5·10⁶ J ÷ 4.18 J/cal.

E = 3.6·10⁵ cal.

Calorie (cal), or small calorie, is the amount of energy needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

One small calorie is approximately 4.18 joules.

A calorie is a unit of energy.

What is the role of neutrons in the nucleus of an atom?

zhenek [66]

Neutrons keep the Protons "in check", meaning Protons hold a very strong repulsive positive charge. The Neutrons counteract the repulsive force within a small space to keep the Nucleus stable.

I hope this helps! :)

Why must all chemical equations be balanced?

Lera25 [3.4K]

If the equation is not balanced, you have extra of one substance. If you try to do an experiment, you could wind up with a totally different outcome. Its kind of like baking a cake. If the ingredients aren't the right amounts, you dont get an edible cake.

Select the correct layer.<br> In which layer is lithification most likely to occur?

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

"Subsoil" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The method of transforming sediments become rocky solids is considered as Lithification. The floor stratum or level below the upper floors at the base of the floor is a Subsoil.
Sediments comprise materials particles like sand, pebbles, skeletons kind of bones as well as muck, that were transported and produced instead in water or perhaps wind someplace.

What are the two variables that affect the electric force between two objects?

givi [52]

Explanation:

The electrical force between two objects is given by the formula as follows :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is electrostatic constant

q₁ and q₂ are electric charges

d is distance between charges

So, the two force between two charged objects depends on the product of charges and distance between charges.

The solubility of glucose at 30°C is

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Saturated solution

We should raise the temperature to increase the amount of glucose in the solution without adding more glucose.

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the mass of water

The density of water at 30°C is 0.996 g/mL. We use this data to calculate the mass corresponding to 400 mL.

$400 mL \times \frac{0.996g}{1mL} =398g$

Step 2: Calculate the mass of glucose per 100 g of water

550 g of glucose were added to 398 g of water. Let's calculate the mass of glucose per 100 g of water.

$100gH_2O \times \frac{550gGlucose}{398gH_2O} = 138 gGlucose$

Step 3: Classify the solution

The solubility represents the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved per 100 g of water. Since the solubility of glucose is 125 g Glucose/100 g of water and we attempt to dissolve 138 g of Glucose/100 g of water, some of the Glucose will not be dissolved. The solution will have the maximum amount of solute possible so it would be saturated. We could increase the amount of glucose in the solution by raising the temperature to increase the solubility of glucose in water.
