Two students are trying to figure out the Calories per gram of potato chips. They burn part of the potato chip and feel the heat

. They decide to measure this heat by putting a can of water above the burning potato chip so they can measure the heat gained by the water.
1 Calorie is equal to 1,000 calories

4.184 J = 1 cal

Specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g °C

They collect the following data:


mass of potato chip before burning 0.58 g
mass of potato chip after burning 0.40 g
mass of water in can 50.9 g
initial temperature of water 21.7 °C
final temperature of water 23.8 °C

How many Cal were released by potato chip? Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Which isotope will spontaneously decay and emit particles with a charge of +2?
VikaD [51]

Answer: The correct option is 4.

Explanation: All the options will undergo some type of radioactive decay processes. There are 3 decay processes:

1) Alpha decay: It is a decay process in which alpha particle is released which has has a mass number of 4 and a charge of +2.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}\textrm{Y}+_2^4\alpha

2) Beta-minus decay: It is a decay in which a beta particle is released. The  beta particle released has a mass number of 0 and a charge of (-1).

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{-1}^0\beta

3) Beta-plus decay: It is a decay process in which a positron is released. The positron released has a mass number of 0 and has a charge of +1.

_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0\beta

For the given options:

Option 1: This nuclei will undergo beta-plus decay process to form _{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}

_{26}^{53}\textrm{Fe}\rightarrow _{25}^{53}\textrm{Mn}+_{+1}^0\beta

Option 2: This nuclei will undergo beta-minus decay process to form _{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}

_{79}^{198}\textrm{Au}\rightarrow _{80}^{198}\textrm{Hg}+_{-1}^0\beta

Option 3: This nuclei will undergo a beta minus decay process to form _{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}

_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}\rightarrow _{56}^{137}\textrm{Ba}+_{-1}^0\beta

Option 4: This nuclei will undergo an alpha decay process to form _{85}^{216}\textrm{At}

_{87}^{220}\textrm{Fr}\rightarrow _{85}^{216}\textrm{At}+_2^4\alpha

Hence, the correct option is 4.

William measures a test tube and finds that the mass of the test tube is 5g. He places the lone reactant in the test tube and fi
iogann1982 [59]

86 percent is the percent yield for this experiment if he expected to produce 5g of product.

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of test tube = 5 grams

mass of test tube + reactant is 12.5 grams

mass of reactant = ( mass of test tube + reactant ) - (mass of test tube)

mass of reactant = 12.5 -5

                             = 7.5 grams

when 7.5 grams of reactant is heated mass of test tube was found to be 9.3 grams.

so mass of product formed = 9.3 - 5

                                             = 4. 3 grams of product is formed (actual yield)

However, he expected the product to be 5 grams (theoretical yield)

Percent yield = \frac{actual yield}{theoretical yield} x 100

          putting the values in the formula:

percent yield = \frac{4.3}{5} x 100

                     = 86 %

86 percent is the percent yield.

Put the following steps in sequence to describe how chemical sedimentary rocks form ?
Natalka [10]

Answer: Option (D)

Explanation: Chemical weathering refers to the breakdown of minerals and forming new minerals due to the presence of chemical elements. For example, hydrolysis.

Due to the chemical weathering, initially, the minerals will get dissolved and are carried to the streams and oceans. After that, due to the saturation by water, the crystals will be precipitated out of that existing solution.

This crystals then sinks down to the bottom, forming sedimentary rocks.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

How does activation energy affect a chemical reaction ?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Enzymes affect the rate of the reaction in both the forward and reverse directions; the reaction proceeds faster because less energy is required for molecules to react when they collide. Thus, the rate constant (k) increases. Figure 3: Lowering the Activation Energy of a Reaction by a Catalyst.

hope this helps!
