Answer:

A) dietary fiber isn't used by the body.

Explanation:

The food we eat contains certain nutritional contents that provides energy, measured in calories (CAL) to the body. A procedure called BOMB CALORIMETRY can be used to determine the energy contents of these foods. The energy-supplying macromolecules contained in food substances we eat are carbohydrate, protein, fats etc.

Bomb calorimetry uses the method of burning the food substance in a device called bomb calorimeter, and measure the caloric content of the burnt food. Bomb calorimetry measures all the present calories in a food substance, which can include dietary fibers. Due to this reason, it is considered a poor choice in determining the number of nutritional calories in a food substance.

Dietary fibers are indigestible carbohydrates that cannot be broken down and used by the body. They pass along the alimentary canal until they are egested. Hence, they are no source of nutrients to the body. Since bomb calorimetry measures all calories including dietary fibers, it is said to overestimate the caloric content of food substances.

In water, Vanillin, C8H8O3, has a solubility of 0.070 moles of vanillin per liter of solution at 25C. What will be produced if 5
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

The full amount (5.00 g) will be dissolved in 1 L of water at 25°C.

Explanation:

The molecular weight (MW) of Vanillin (C₈H₈O₃) is calculated from the chemical formula as follows:

MW(C₈H₈O₃) = (12 g/mol x 8) + (1 g/mol x 8) + (16 g/mol x 3) = 152 g/mol

If 0.070 mol of C₈H₈O₃ are soluble per liter of water at 25°C, the maximum mass that can be dissolved in 1 L is:

0.070 mol x 152 g/mol = 10.64 g

Since 5.00 g is lesser than the maximum amount that can be dissolved (10.64 g), the added amount will be completely dissolved in 1 L of water at 25°C.

A student has a large number of coins of different diameters, all made by the same metal. She wishes to find the density of the
Elenna [48]

Answer:

A. In a graduated cylinder, put some quantity of water and measure the initial volume. Then put a coin and measure the volume. To find the volume of the coin, simply subtract the initial volume (water only) from the ending volume (water + coin). To measure the mass, take a dry coin and place it on an electronic scale. Density = mass / volume, so divide the mass by the volume to calculate the density of the coin.

B. When measuring the volume, make sure to look at the graduated cylinder at eye level and read from the bottom of the meniscus.
