Answer:
B. The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely.
Explanation:
Heat or thermal energy is a form of energy that transfers from one object to another due to a temperature difference between the objects. The units for heat are joules or calories.
Calorimetry is the measurement of heat energy released or absorbed in a chemical reaction. A calorimeter is used in calorimetry. The calorimeter operates on the Law of Conservation of Energy which states that energy is never created or destroyed but is transformed from one form to another or between objects.
In food calorimetry, the energy released when food is burned is measured by recording the rise in temperature of water in a calorimeter when a given mass of a food sample is burned completely.
Energy can be calculated using the formula: Q = mc ∆T
where Q = the energy in joules or calories, m = the mass in grams, c = specific heat and ∆T = the change in temperature (final temperature - initial temperature).
The temperature of the water when the food sample has finished burning completely is taken as the final temperature of the water. The sample is allowed to smolder for sometime before recording the final water temperature. This is because the water temperature will continue to rise after the flame has gone out.
Answer:
Zinc oxide is the antimicrobial in the medicated foot powder.
Explanation:
Zinc oxide (ZnO) is used to treat several skin conditions such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, etc because it has antibacterial and antifungal properties. This property of the ZnO depends on its size i.e., the smaller the size of ZnO, the stronger antimicrobial activity it has. So, the ZnO nanoparticles are more efficient.
The zinc oxide interacts with the sulfur atoms in microbial proteins and denatures them and destroys their function. This action completely inhibits microbial growth. The treatment with zinc oxide causes the reduced production of conidia in fungi, damages their hyphae and inhibits their ability to produce mycotoxins.
The compounds containing zinc such as ZnSO4, Zn(ClO4)2, etc also have antifungal and antimycotoxin properties that can cause changes in the fungi cell structure. Also, the free radicals formed on the surface of the ZnO nanoparticles can cause damage to the lipids in the bacterial cell membranes that can lead to the leakage and breakdown of the bacterial cell membranes.
Independent variable would be salt since you can't change it in this experiment.
M(Cs)=133 g/mol
M(O)=16 g/mol
M(CsxOy)=298 g/mol
w(Cs)=0.89
w(O)=0.11
CsxOy
x=M(CsxOy)w(Cs)/M(Cs)
x=298*0.89/133=2
y=M(CsxOy)w(O)/M(O)
y=298*0.11/16=2
