Answer: 15062.4 Joules

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = ?

Mass of food = 200.0g

C = 4.184 j/g°C

Φ = (Final temperature - Initial temperature)

= 83.0°C - 65.0°C = 18°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

Q = 200.0g x 4.184 j/g°C x 18°C

Q = 15062.4 J

Thus, 15062.4 joules of heat energy was contained in the food.

Why do the Noble gases have the highest ionization energies across a period?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

ionization energy decreases from top to bottom in groups, and increases from left to right across a period. So technically, the noble games have the largest ionization energy.
