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.

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Raster Image Correlation Spectroscopy (RICS) is a novel new technique for measuring molecular dynamics and confocal fluorescence imaging concentrations. RICS technique extracts information on molecular dynamics and concentrations of live cell images taken in commercial confocal systems

Explanation:

RICS analysis must be performed on images acquired through raster scanning. Laser scanning microscopes generate images by measuring the fluorescence intensity in one area of ​​a pixel at a time (a 'pixel' in this context does not have the same definition as a pixel in computer graphics, but refers to a measurement of localized intensity). The value of a pixel is obtained by illuminating a region of the sample with the focal volume of a laser beam and measuring the intensity of the fluorescence emitted. The laser beam moves to a new location and a new pixel is recorded. Each pixel can be considered to correspond to a region of the sample, with its width (called pixel size) defined by the distance the beam moves between measurements. This means that the size of a pixel is separate and independent from the size of the focal volume of the laser beam.

15 POINTS PLS HELP!!!!!
scZoUnD [109]

Answer: (C) Vaporizing

Explanation:

 Vaporization is the process in which the substance change the state of of liquid into the gas state.

The vaporization process require the largest input of the energy as when the state is in the solid state then, the solid substances contain the strong forces of the attraction and they require high energy to break these strong bonds.

For changing the liquid state into the gases state we require to overcome the surface tension and require enough energy for acquiring the vaporization state.

Therefore, option (C) is correct.

What is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M
Fofino [41]

16.4 grams is the mass of solute in a 500 mL solution of 0.200 M .

sodium phosphate

Explanation:

Given data about sodium phosphate

atomic mass of Na3PO4 = 164 grams/mole

volume of the solution = 500 ml or 0.5 litres

molarity of sodium phosphate solution = 0.200 M

The formula for molarity will be used here to know the mass dissolved in the given volume of the solution:

The formula is

molarity = \frac{number of moles of solute}{volume in litres}

    putting the values in the equation, we get

molarity x volume = number of moles

0.200 X 0.5= number of  moles

number of moles = 0.1 moles

Atomic mass x number of moles = mass

putting the values in the above equation

164 x 0.1 = 16.4 grams

16.4 grams of sodium phosphate is present in 0.5 L of the solution to make a 0.2 M solution.
