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

Las fórmulas actuales de los compuestos propuestos por Dalton
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

La teoría atómica de Dalton fue el primer intento completo para describir toda la materia en términos de los átomos y sus propiedades.

Dalton basó su teoría en la ley de la conservación de la masa y la ley de la composición constante.

La primera parte de su teoría establece que toda la materia está hecha de átomos, que son indivisibles.

La segunda parte de su teoría establece que todos los átomos de un elemento dado son idénticos en masa y en propiedades.

La tercera parte de su teoría establece que los compuestos son combinaciones de dos o más tipos diferentes de átomos.

La cuarta parte de su teoría establece que una reacción química es un reordenamiento de átomos.

Partes de su teoría tuvieron que ser modificadas con base en el descubrimiento de las partículas subatómicas y los isótopos.
