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>

PLEASE HELP!?!.!,! What are the products of the combustion of a hydrocarbon?
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

carbon dioxide and water

Explanation:

Example: Combustion of Methane (CH₄(g))

CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) => CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(g)**

____________________

Note: The combustion of any hydrocarbon produces CO₂ & H₂O. That is,

Ethane (C₂H₆) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Propane (C₃H₈) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

Butane (C₄H₁₀) + O₂ => CO₂(g) + H₂O(g)

The issue remaining is to balance the reaction equation. For these type equation balance Carbon 1st, then Hydrogen and finish with Oxygen. Balancing in this order leaves Oxygen which can be balanced using fractions. If problem requires lowest whole number ratios of elements, simply multiply entire equation by 2 to get standard equation*

______________________

*Standard Equation is defined as the smallest whole number ratios of elements. The 'standard equation' is significant in that it is assumed to be at STP conditions; i.e., 0⁰C (=273K) & 1.0 Atmosphere pressure.

  • Ethane (C₂H₆) + 7/2O₂(g) => 2CO₂(g) + 3H₂O(g)

    => 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)  <= Standard Form of Rxn

  • Propane (C₃H₈) + 5O₂(g) => 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn (no need to balance with the '2' multiple)
  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) + 13/2O₂ => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g)

    => 2C₃H₈ + 13O₂(g) => 4CO₂(g) + 5H₂O(g) <= Standard Form of Rxn

______________________

**Also, note that water, H₂O(g), is listed as a gas. In some cases it will be listed as a liquid, H₂O(l).

Enter the ions formed when (NH4)2S dissolves in water.
lisabon 2012 [21]

The ions formed are NH4(+) and S(2-)

The dissolution reaction of (NH4) 2S in water is as follows:


(NH4) 2S ==> 2 NH4 (+) + S (2-).



Ammonium sulfide is the ammonium salt of hydrogen sulfide. It has the formula (NH4) 2S and belongs to the sulfide family.


It is a relatively unstable compound (crystals decomposing at -18 ° C, but exists and is more stable in aqueous solution.) With a pKa exceeding 15, the hydrosulfide ion cannot be significantly deprotonated by ammonia. Thus, such solutions consist mainly of a mixture of ammonia and hydrosulphide of ammonium, it has a smell, close to that of hydrogen sulfide, and its aqueous solutions can be precisely by emitting H2S.

Why chlorine has high electroaffinity than flourine​
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Fluorine has seven electrons in 2p-subshell whereas chlorine has seven electrons in its 3p-subshell. 3p-subshell is relatively larger than 2p-subshell. Therefore, repulsion among the electrons will be more in the 2p-shell of fluorine than 3p-subshell in chlorine.  Due to the smaller size and thus, the greater electron-electron repulsions, fluorine will not accept an incoming electron with the same as chlorine.

What is a criterion for all products made using the process of technological design? The product must be cheaper than similar pr
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

C. The product must solve the problem for which it was designed.

Explanation:

Technological design is the study, development and application of technological process with the intent of designing a product to solve required problem.The process could be based on the use of a computer.

Generally, technological process and development always tend to design a problem solver product. Through this process, more new technologies are produced.

Therefore in technological process, the product must solve the problem for which it was designed.
