The energy content of a certain food is to be determined in a bomb calorimeter that contains 3 kg of water by burning a 2-g samp

le of it in the presence of 100 g of air in the reaction chamber. If the water temperature rises by 3.2°C when equilibrium is established, determine the energy content of the food, in kJ/kg, by neglecting the thermal energy stored in the reaction chamber and the energy supplied by the mixer. By calculating the rough estimate of the error involved in neglecting the thermal energy stored in the reaction chamber, do you think it is reasonable to disregard the change in the sensible energy content of the reaction chamber in the analysis? The specific heat of water at room temperature is c = 4.18 kJ/kg·°C. The constant-volume specific heat of air at room temperature is cv = 0.718 kJ/kg·°C.

Answer:

20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg

Explanation:

The food after the reaction gives out heat which increases the temperature of water and air in the reaction chamber . The heat absorbed by water and air gives the estimate of energy content of the food.

Heat absorbed by water = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

=  3 x 4.18 x 10³ x 3.2

= 40.128 x 10³ J

Heat absorbed by air  = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature

0.1 x 3. 2 x .718 x 10³

= 0.23 x 10³

Total heat energy evolved

= 40.358 x 10³ J

This energy is evolved by 2 x 10⁻³ kg of food

energy content per kg of food

= 40.358 x 10³ / 2 x 10⁻³

= 20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg

Hello.

BEVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are a more promising transportation technology for the future because they reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as CO2 making it more 'green.' The second question is your opinion, in mine no, they should not be required but they should at least be considering.

A force of 20.0 N is applied to a 3.00 kg object for 4.00 seconds. Calculate the impulse experienced by the object.​
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Impulse = 80Ns

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 3kg

Force = 20N

Time = 4 seconds

To find the impulse experienced by the object;

Impulse = force * time

Impulse = 20*4

Impulse = 80Ns

Therefore, the impulse experienced by the object is 80 Newton-seconds.
