Will Maynez burns a 0.6-g peanut beneath 50 g of water, which increases in temperature from 22°C to 50°C. (The specific heat cap

acity of water is 1.0 cal/g?°C.) a. Assuming that 40% of the heat released by the burn- ing peanut makes its way to the water (40% efficiency), show that the peanut’s food value is 3500 calories (equivalently, 3.5 Calories).

Answer:

40% of  the energy release by the peanut is 3500 calories

Explanation:

One calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of water for one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)

Equation for energy gain by water is

Q = mcΔT

where, m is the mass of the object

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

c =  1.0 cal/g?°C.

m = 50 g

ΔT = 50°C - 22°C

    = 28°C

Q = (50)× (1)× (28)

  = 1400calories

The peanut contain 1400calories of energy .

amount that 40% of energy is released to water ,

so,

Q = 1400 calories / 0.4

= 3500 calories

Therefore, 40% of  the energy release by the peanut is 3500 calories

What elements form chlorides with formula xcl?
dolphi86 [110]
<span>Since chlorine favours a (-1) oxidation state, it forms an ionic bond with group one metals with the formula XCl. All group one metals react vigorously with chlorine gas; and each reaction gets more violent as you move down Group 1 and produces a white crystalline salt. The reaction with chlorine is as follows 2X + Cl2 which gives 2XCl. Where X is an Alkali metal.</span>

I2 is produced by the reaction of 0.4235 mol of CuCl2 according to the following equation: 2CuCl2+4KI⟶2CuI+4KCl+I2. What volume
sveta [45]

Answer: 4.7432 L

Explanation:

Use stoichiometry: .4235 mol CuCl2 (1 mol I2 / 2 mol CuCl2)(22.4 L / 1 mol I2) = 4.7432 L :)

1. What causes wind? *
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

it's the uneven heating of the region's of the troposphere by the sun the sun warms the air at the equator more than the air at the poles. it causes convention currents large scale patterns of winds that move heat and moisture around the globe. as air rises expands and cools water vapor condenses and clouds develop.

Explanation:

I hope this helps :)

The following gases are at STP. Which one will diffuse the fastest? F2, CO2, He, SO2, NO, NH3
Lisa [10]
This can be solve using the grahams law, which states that the rate of diffusion of the gas is inversely proportional the square root of the molar mass of the gas. meaning the gas with smaller molar mass is the fastest to diffuse

molar mass of the following
F2 = 38 g/mol
CO2 = 44 g/mol
He = 4 g/mol
SO2 = 64 g/mol
NO = 30 g/mol
NH3 = 17 g/mol

so the fastest is He
