Answer:

C) 170 Cal

Explanation:

We are given the composition of a food sample as;

Carbohydrate = 25 g

fat = 8 g

Protein = 5 g

We are needed to determine the energy content of the food;

We need to know the amount energy yielded by each food substance.

That is; carbohydrates and proteins generate 4 calories per gram while fats generates 9 calories per gram.

Therefore;

Amount of energy will be;

= (25 × 4 cal/g) + (8g × 9 cal/g) + (5 g × 4 cal/g)

= 172 cal

Approximately , 170 calories

Therefore, the energy content will be 170 calories

Referencing the reasoning you used from #1, explain the difference between objects that feel hot and those that

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The temperature of the cold water is lower than the warm one. So, when we put the hand in the warm from the cold water, our hand will absorb heat, causing the hand to feel hot. Thus, we can conclude that the more heat it absorbs, the more hotter it is. Whereas the more heat it releases, the colder it is.

Which is true according to the law of conservation of energy?

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: E) In a closed system, the total energy always remains constant.

Explanation: For every system, the law of conservation of energy is applicable which states that the energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

A closed system is one which can exchange energy with the surroundings but not mass. Thus if a system absorbs energy, the equivalent amount of energy is lost by surroundings, thus the total energy remains constant.

If a system loses energy, an equivalent amount of energy is gained by surroundings, thus the total energy remains constant.

The temperature of a sample of gas in a steel

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

$P_2=51.7kPa$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we apply the Gay-Lussac's law which allows us to understand the pressure-temperature behavior via a directly proportional relationship:

$\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

Thus, since we are asked to compute the final pressure we solve for it in the previous formula, considering the temperature in absolute Kelvin units:

$P_2=\frac{P_1T_2}{T_1}=\frac{30.0kPa*(25.0+273)K}{(-100.0+273)K} \\\\P_2=51.7kPa$

Best regards.

Rank the following elements by effective nuclear charge, Zeff, for a valence electron. F LI Be B N

Stels [109]

Answer:

Rank in increasing order of effective nuclear charge:

Li < Be < B < N < F

Explanation:

This explains the meaning of effective nuclear charge, Zeff, how to determine it, and the calculations for a valence electron of each of the five given elements: F, Li, Be, B, and N.

1) Effective nuclear charge definitions

While the total positive charge of the atom nucleus (Z) is equal to the number of protons, the electrons farther away from the nucleus experience an effective nuclear charge (Zeff) less than the total nuclear charge, due to the fact that electrons in between the nucleus and the outer electrons partially cancel the atraction from the nucleus.

Such effect on on a valence electron is estimated as the atomic number less the number of electrons closer to the nucleus than the electron whose effective nuclear charge is being determined: Zeff = Z - S.

2) Z eff for a F valence electron:

F's atomic number: Z = 9
Total number of electrons: 9 (same numer of protons)
Period: 17 (search in the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 7 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 9 - 7 = 2
Zeff = Z - S = 9 - 2 = 7

3) Z eff for a Li valence eletron:

Li's atomic number: Z = 3
Total number of electrons: 3 (same number of protons)
Period: 1 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 1 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 3 - 1 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 3 - 2 = 1.

4) Z eff for a Be valence eletron:

Be's atomic number: Z = 4
Total number of electrons: 4 (same number of protons)
Period: 2 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 2 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 4 - 2 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 4 - 2 = 2

5) Z eff for a B valence eletron:

B's atomic number: Z = 5
Total number of electrons: 5 (same number of protons)
Period: 13 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 3 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 5 - 3 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 5 - 2 = 3

6) Z eff for a N valence eletron:

N's atomic number: Z = 7
Total number of electrons: 7 (same number of protons)
Period: 15 (search on the periodic table or do the electron configuration)
Number of valence electrons: 5 (equal to the last digit of the period's number)
Number of electrons closer to the nucleus than a valence electron: S = 7 - 5 = 2
Z eff = Z - S = 7 - 2 = 5

7) Summary (order):

Atom Zeff for a valence electron

Li 1

Be 2

Conclusion: the order is Li < Be < B < N < F
