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

Predict whether ΔS° is greater than, less than, or approximately zero for each of the following reactions, and explain your choi
inna [77]

Answer:

Explanation:

Entropy -

In a system, the randomness is measured by the term entropy .

Randomness basically refers as a form of energy that can not be used for any work.

The change in entropy is given by amount heat per change in temperature.

  • When solid is converted to gas entropy increases,

As the molecules in solid state are tightly packed and has more force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to gas, the force of attraction between the molecule decreases and hence entropy increases.

So,

The particles of the substance , if are tightly held by strong force of attraction will decrease the entropy ,

And

If the particles are loosely held , the entropy will increase .  

  • If in a reaction , more number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
  • When liquid is converted to solid entropy decreases,  

As the molecules in liquid state are loosely packed and has less force of attraction between the molecules, but as it is converted to solid, the force of attraction between the molecule increases and hence entropy decreases.

  • If in a reaction , less number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , entropy will decrease , i.e. Δ°S < 0

From the question ,

( a )  NH₃(g) + 5 O₂(g) → 4 NO(g) + 6 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 5 = 6

Product - 4 + 6 = 10 ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0

( b ) CH₄(g) + 2 O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2 H₂O(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant - 1 + 2 = 3

Product - 1 + 2 = 3 ,

Since ,

Both the side the value of gaseous atoms are , hence , Δ°S = 0 .

( c ) CaCO₃(s) → CaO(s) + CO₂(g)

Gaseous atoms -

Reactant = 0

Product - 0 + 1 = 1 ,

Since ,

Hence ,

More number of gaseous atoms are present in the product side , So ,

entropy will increase , i.e. Δ°S > 0
