Describe how to find calorie content in food

<u>To find the calorie content in food:</u>

Importantly, a calorie will not be considered as full or empty and not a thing too.  You cannot tie calories in a bottle. A calorie is a unit of measure of energy. We can also say that, it is the energy amount that is needed to rise the temperature of one ml of water by 1 degree Celsius.

Earlier, a calorimeter was used to measure the calorie content of food. That is, a certain amount of food in which water content has evaporated, and this food was put in a vessel surrounded by some water. The container was then sealed, oxygen was supplied in, and the food was ignited.

From the temperature increase of water, the calorie content of food was determined. Today, producers use the “At water indirect system” to find calorie content by adding the calories containing the energy nutrients: protein, carbohydrate, fat and alcohol.

The At water system makes use of the average values of 4 K cal/g for protein, 4 K cal/g for carbohydrate, 9 K cal/g for fat and  7 K cal/g for alcohol that were determined by burning these substances in a calorimeter.

Thus the label on a 45 gram Perk that contains 3 g of protein, 29 g of carbohydrate (22 grams of which are simple sugars) and 12 g of fat would read 230 Calories.

Carl walked 12m north then turned around and walked back 4m south. What was his
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Distance: 16m Displacement: 8m North

Explanation:

Total distance is the total amount traveled, regardless of direction. So, you would just add 12 and 4 to get a total distance of 16m. Displacement is the distance/direction from the start to the end point, regardless of which way you got there. So, to find displacement, you just subtract:

12m North - 4m South = 8m North

In ionic compounds, ________ lose their valence electrons to form positively charged ________. nonmetals, anions metals, polyato
Keith_Richards [23]
Answer:
            <span>In ionic compounds, <u>Metals</u> lose their valence electrons to form positively charged Cations. 

Explanation:
                   Metals have the ability to loose elctrons readily. For example metals of Group IA and Group IIA readily looses electrons in order to obtain Noble Gas Configuration. On the other hand Non-metals tends to gain electrons and acquire negative charge. While Ions are made when an an element gain or loose electrons. After loosing electrons element get positive charge which is called as Cation while on gaining electron it gets negative charge called as Anion.</span>
