a piece of food is burned in a calorimeter that contains 200.0g of water. If the temperature of the water rose from 65.0°C to 83

.0°C, how much heat energy in joules was contained in the food? Specific heat if water is 4.184 j/g°C.

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.

How is a gas's ability to fill a container different from that of a liquid or a solid?
svp [43]
Well a solid and a liquid is completely different from a gas. For a gas you need to have an air tight seal in order for the gas to stay in, or a special type of container so the gas doesn't decompose the container. And a liquid or a solid it's self explanatory. With some liquids you need special containers to hold the liquid so it doesn't decompose the container it's in.

If a gas occupies a volume of 950 mL at standard temperature, what volume will it
n200080 [17]
Voulme 1= 950 mL
Volume 2= ?
Temperature 1 = 25 C
Temperature 2 = 50 C
Convert your temperature to Kelvin
C+273=K
Temperature 1 = 25 C + 273 = 298 K
Temperature 2 = 50 C + 273 = 323 K

Plug in to the Formula
950 mL/298 K = ? / 323 K

Rearrange the formula to make one to solve for what is missing.
To get 323 K out of the denominator multiply by it.
Making it
950 mL x 323 K / 298 K = ?

Plug it in
950 mL x 323 K / 298 K = 1027.9 mL

Which of the following pairs of reactants is likely to produce a pure metal when the
storchak [24]
1. Na3PO4+Mg(NO3)2= NaNO3 + MgPO4
So this is not the answer.
2. Al+CuCl2= AlCl3+ Cu
So this is the answer.
3. Mg+O2= MgO2
So this is not an answer
4. Cl2+KI= KCl+I2
So this is also an answer

Hence B and C are answers
