Answer:
20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg
Explanation:
The food after the reaction gives out heat which increases the temperature of water and air in the reaction chamber . The heat absorbed by water and air gives the estimate of energy content of the food.
Heat absorbed by water = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature
= 3 x 4.18 x 10³ x 3.2
= 40.128 x 10³ J
Heat absorbed by air = mass x specific heat x rise in temperature
0.1 x 3. 2 x .718 x 10³
= 0.23 x 10³
Total heat energy evolved
= 40.358 x 10³ J
This energy is evolved by 2 x 10⁻³ kg of food
energy content per kg of food
= 40.358 x 10³ / 2 x 10⁻³
= 20.179 x 10⁶ J /kg
Answer:
The elements in group 2 form compounds consisting of one atom of the element and two atoms of hydrogen: These are called alkaline earth metals, with similar properties among members of that group.
