It basically works like this:

You dry out the food

put it in this ceramic oven thingy surrounded with water

burn the food

the water will heat up

measure the water temperature in f

= calories

Calorimetry is the science or act of measuring changes in state variables of a body for the purpose of deriving the heat transfer associated with changes of its state due, for example, to chemical reactions, physical changes, or phase transitions under specified constraints.

in this case, you're finding the amount of energy is contained within it when combusted

Helium can be liquefied when he atoms are attracted to one another by intermolecular ________ forces.
Akimi4 [234]

Helium can be liquefy through a very low temperature because of the weakness of attractions between the helium atoms. In addition, helium is a noble gas that has a very weak interatomic London dispersion forces. Thus, this element would remain liquid at atmospheric pressure all the way to its liquefaction point going to absolute zero.

How does a buffer resist change in ph upon addition of a strong acid?
lora16 [44]
Any buffer exists in this equilibrium
 
  HA <=> H^+ + A^-
In a buffer, there is a large reservoir of both the undissociated acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A^-) 

When a strong acid is added, it reacts with the large reservoir of the conjugate base (A^-) forming a salt and water. Since this large reservoir of the conjugate base is used, the ph does not alter drastically, but instead resist the pH change.

Describe a qualitative test for sulfate in alum crystals using ionic reactions of barium chloride (BaCl2)
Lady bird [3.3K]

A qualitative test for sulfate in alum crystals using ionic reactions of barium chloride (BaCl2) is given Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   BaSO₄(s).

<h3>What is qualitative test?</h3>

Qualitative test measures changes in color, melting point, odor, reactivity, radioactivity, boiling point, bubble production, and precipitation of the sample.

<h3>Qualitative test for sulfate in alum crystals </h3>

When an aqueous solution of a barium salt (BaCl₂) is mixed with an aqueous solution containing sulfate, a white precipitate of insoluble BaSO₄ forms according to the net ionic equation given below;

Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   BaSO₄(s)

Thus, a qualitative test for sulfate in alum crystals using ionic reactions of barium chloride (BaCl2) is given Ba²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻ (aq)  →   BaSO₄(s).
