Answer:

5927.3488 calorie/g

Explanation:

For peanut butter:

Mass = 15 g

Initial temperature = 22.4 °C

Final temperature = 25.5 °C

Specific heat of calorimeter, C = 120 kJ/°C

Considering

Q=C\times (T_f-T_i)

Q=120\ kJ/^0C\times (25.5-22.4)\ ^0C

Q=372\ kJ

Also,

1 kJ = 239.006 calories

So, Heat = 372*239.006 calories = 88910.232 calories

15 g of the peanut butter gives 88910.232 calories

<u>So, the food caloric content of peanut butter = 88910.232 calories/ 15 g = 5927.3488 calorie/g</u>

Electric current is when electrons start to flow around a circuit. We use an ammeter to measure it and it is measured in amps
Potential difference (also called voltage) is how big the push on the electrons is. We use a voltmeter to measure it and it is measured in volts.
Resistance is anything that resists an electric current. It is measured in ohms”.
(Words: volts, amps, ohms, voltage, ammeter, voltmeter).

2) According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, what does H2O act as in the
lilavasa [31]

Answer: Option B) Base

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton and produces a conjugate acid.

Thus, water H2O acts as a example of Bronsted-Lowry base while hydrochloric acid, HCl acts as an acid respectively as shown in the reaction below

HCl(aq) + H2O(aq) -> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

H2O acts as an base by accepting a proton donated by HCl, thus producing hydroxonium ion, H3O+ as a conjugate acid.

Thus, in the given reaction, H2O acts as a base

What is nuclear fission
swat32
Nuclear fission is the process of which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutron. In simpler words, nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into two smaller fragments or pieces (nuclei) and so energy and neutrons are released. The resulting pieces of this fission process have less combined mass than the original piece (nucleus) and the missing was is converted into nuclear energy.
