1. Energy in foods is provided by

Chemistry
1 answer:
ELEN [110]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Energy in foods is provided by macro-nutrients.

Explanation:

Nutrients are “environmental substances” used for growth, energy, and bodily functions of the  organisms. Those nutrients that are required  in larger amounts are called macro-nutrients.

There are 3 macro-nutrients needed by humans: lipids (fats), carbohydrates (sugar) and proteins. All these macro-nutrients gives energy in  form of “calories”. For example:

  • In carbohydrates, there are '4 calories' of energy per gram.
  • In proteins, there are '4 calories' of energy per gram.
  • And in lipids, there are '9 calories' of energy in one gram.

This means that if you look at a food label and it lists 10 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat, that food would contain 40 calories.

What is the energy required to change a spherical drop of water to five smaller spherical drops of equal size? At room temperatu
pav-90 [236]
T<span>his is a straightforward question related to the surface energy of the droplet. </span>

<span>You know the surface area of a sphere is 4π r² and its volume is (4/3) π r³. </span>

<span>With a diameter of 1.4 mm you have an original droplet with a radius of 0.7 mm so the surface area is roughly 6.16 mm² (0.00000616 m²) and the volume is roughly 1.438 mm³. </span>

<span>The total surface energy of the original droplet is 0.00000616 * 72 ~ 0.00044 mJ </span>

<span>The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original. Therefore </span>

<span>5 V = 1.438 mm³ so the volume of one of the smaller spheres is 1.438/5 = 0.287 mm³. </span>

<span>Since this smaller volume still has the volume (4/3) π r³ then r = cube_root(0.287/(4/3) π) = cube_root(4.39) = 0.4 mm. </span>

<span>Each of the smaller droplets has a surface area of 4π r² = 2 mm² or 0.0000002 m². </span>

<span>The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplets is then 5 * 0.000002 * 72.0 = 0.00072 mJ </span>
<span>From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 0.00072 and the difference in energy is 0.00072- 0.00044 mJ = 0.00028 mJ. </span>

<span>Therefore you need roughly 0.00028 mJ or 0.28 µJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.4 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets. </span>

Which of these hydrocarbons is a ketone? Check all that apply.
Elza [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Ketone is a class of organic compounds which has a carbonyl group such that the carbon atom is covalently bonded to an oxygen atom, while the remaining two bonds are to other carbon atoms or hydrocarbon radicals.

Ketones are highly reactive hydrocarbons, they can be gotten from the oxidization of secondary alcohols. Ketone are used for medicinal applications.

The third option is the ketone
