Explain how the following experimental errors affect the final calculation of the kilocalories per gram for a food item. Be spec

Ainat [17]

Answer:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more.

Explanation:

a) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less because the mass was reduced from 110.3 to 101.3g

b)the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since some marshmallow fell off before the reaction

c) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be less since the reaction will eventually go to completion

d) the final kilocalories per gram for food will be more since the thermometer that got stuck will add to the value of final kilocalories per gram

A certain substance, X, has a triple-point temperature of 20°C at a pressure of 2.0 atm.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: The statement which could possibly not be true is C -" Liquid X can exist as a stable phase at 25°C, 1atm."

Explanation:

Triple point is the point where a substance co-exist as solid liquid and gas. At any point other than the triple point, the substance exist as a single phase substance.

As shown in the diagram, Liquid cannot exist as a stable phase at 1atm( below the the triple point pressure of 2atm) as the liquid can only exist beyond the pressure of triple point.
