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.

What is the 4 methods that can be used to separate mixtures?
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<span>Separating mixtures can be done in many ways. One of these methods is the physical methods which include, filtration, crystallization, distillation, and chromatography. 

Since mixtures come in a lot of forms and many phases, some of them cannot be separated through the first physical methods. The methods of separating mixtures depend on the kind of mixture.  Other common separation methods include fractional distillation which is similar to simple distillation method, magnetism, which is ideal for  mixtures whose one part has magnetic properties and separating funnel, an ideal technique used to separate immiscible liquids..</span>

A catalyst can increase the rate of a reaction ________. Select one: a. by increasing the overall activation energy (Ea) of the
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy

Explanation:

Cataysts are the substances that neither consumed nor produced during a chemical reaction, but increase the rate of the reaction.

So, catalysts remain chemically unchnaged after the completion of the reaction.

For a reaction to occur, reactants molecule must collide and successful collisions lead to product formation.

A certain minimum amount of energy is required for successful collision. This minimum amounr of energy is called activation energy.

One way to increase speed of reaction is to provide energy to the reactants  and other way to increase speed is to provide alternate pathway with lower activation energy.

Catalyst increases a rate of reaction by providing an alternate pathway with lower activation energy.

Therefore, the correct option is option b 'by providing an alternative pathway with a lower activation energy'
