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

11. Explain why in terms of gravity and air resistance and the 2nd law, objects in free fall regardless of mass hit at the same
Alchen [17]

Answer:

When an object is dropped, it accelerates toward the center of Earth. Newton's second law states that a net force on an object is responsible for its acceleration. If air resistance is negligible, the net force on a falling object is the gravitational force.

Normal body temperature. the average normal body temperature measured in the mouth is 310 k . what would celsius and fahrenheit
faltersainse [42]
The question is simply asking us to convert one unit, in this case temperature, to another unit. To do this, we need conversion factors to multiply, divide or relate to the original measurement. We do as follows:

Celsius = Kelvin - 273.15
310 - 273.15 = 36.85 degrees celsius

Fahrenheit = <span> (°</span>C<span> × </span>9<span>/5) + 32
</span> (36.85<span> × </span>9<span>/5) + 32 = 98.33 degrees fahrenheit
</span>
Hope this helps.
