Answer:
Explanation:
First, let's review the ideal gas law, PV = nRT. In this equation, 'P' is the pressure in atmospheres, 'V' is the volume in liters, 'n' is the number of particles in moles, 'T' is the temperature in Kelvin and 'R' is the ideal gas constant (0.0821 liter atmospheres per moles Kelvin)
Answer:
3.07 Cal/g
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the heat absorbed by the calorimeter
We will use the following expression.
Q = C × ΔT
where,
- C: heat capacity of the calorimeter (37.60 kJ/K = 37.60 kJ/°C)
- ΔT: temperature change (2.29 °C)
Q = 37.60 kJ/°C × 2.29 °C = 86.1 kJ
According to the law of conservation of energy, the heat released by the candy has the same magnitude as the heat absorbed by the calorimeter.
Step 2: Convert 86.1 kJ to Cal
We will use the conversion factor 1 Cal = 4.186 kJ.
86.1 kJ × 1 Cal/4.186 kJ = 20.6 Cal
Step 3: Calculate the number of Cal per gram of candy
20.6 Cal/6.70 g = 3.07 Cal/g
