Dalton's Billiard Ball Model
Answer:
944.12 J
Explanation:
To solve for the energy change we use the equation Q=mc(Delta)t
Let's identify the variables we have:
m (mass) = 49.2 g
c (specific heat) = .4494
delta t (change in temp.) = final - initial = 58.9-16.2 = 42.7 degrees Celsius
Q= (49.2)(.4494)(42.7)
= 944.12 J
If equal masses of nutrients are oxidized, the largest amount of energy will be released by FATS.
Carbohydrates and fats are the two major nutrients that provide the energy that the cells use to carry out their biochemical activities, but the amount of energy that is obtainable from fat is much more greater than that of carbohydrates.
