Question

9. A 2 liter bottle of Coke weighs about 2 kilograms. If that bottle were combined with an equal amount of anti-Coke, how many Joules of energy would be released (note that you get units Joules if you calculate the energy using units of kilograms and meters)

Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of energy that would be released is equal to 4182 Joules.

Explanation:

Total amount of coke = 2 kg = 2000 g

1 calorie per gram is equal to 4.184 Joules of energy

4.184 J/gC*2000g = 8368 J

1 food calorie is roughly equal to 4186 J

8368 - 4186

Therefore, the amount of energy that would be released is equal to 4182 Joules.
