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.

Answer: Volume iron = 2 x 3 x 2 => 12 cm³

Mass = 94 g

D = m / V

D = 94 / 12

AGO H2SO4 (aq) Al(SO4)3(aq) H28) fe Cl218) FeCl38<br>​
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2Al + 3H2SO4 → Al2(SO4)3 + 3H2

2Fe + 3Cl2 → 2FeCl3

Explanation:

1. (SO4) 3 you see this 3 it means that 3 must be behind H2SO4. So now it's 3H2SO4.

2. If 3 is now behind one H2, it must be behind the other.

So now it's 3H2.

3. Al2 (SO4) 3 has 2 ahead of Al which means there will be 2Al in the reactants.

1. FeCl3 has 3 ahead of Cl, and Cl2 has 2. Which means that behind FeCl3 goes 2, and behind Cl2 goes 3 so now we have equated all Cl.

2. Since it is now 2FeCl3, we know that there must be 2 in the second Fe. It's 2Fe now.
