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.

A first-order reaction is 45% complete at the end of 43 minutes. What is the length of the half-life of this reaction
shtirl [24]

The half-life of the reaction is 50 minutes

Data;

  • Time = 43 minutes
  • Type of reaction = first order
  • Amount of Completion = 45%

<h3>Reaction Constant</h3>

Let the initial concentration of the reaction be X_0

The reactant left = (1 - 0.45) X_0 = 0.55 X_0 = X

For a first order reaction

\ln(\frac{x}{x_o}) = -kt\\ k = \frac{1}{t}\ln (\frac{x_o}{x}) \\ k = \frac{1}{43}\ln (\frac{x_o}{0.55_o})\\ k = 0.013903 min^-^1

<h3>Half Life </h3>

The half-life of a reaction is said to be the time required for the initial amount of the reactant to reach half it's original size.

x = \frac{x_o}{2} \\t = t_\frac{1}{2} \\t_\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{k}\ln(\frac{x_o}{x_o/2})\\

Substitute the values

t_\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{k}\ln(2)=\frac{0.6931}{0.013903}\\t_\frac{1}{2}= 49.85 min = 50 min

The half-life of the reaction is 50 minutes

In the experiment involving hydrated copper sulfate, overheating causes a high calculated percent value for water. why is the hi
Strike441 [17]
The answer to this question would be: Because the increase of temperature will increase volume.

Using PV=nRT formula we can see that temperature increase will cause an increase in volume. Overheating will cause the volume increase, then increasing the volume. If the percent value used is based on the volume, it will seem that the water is increased. But if the percent is using mass, there will be no increases.
That is why sometimes scientists using molality in a reaction with high temperature changes.
