a 0.555 g sample of mayonnase was burned in excess oxygen inside a bomb calorimeter with a total heat capacity (bomb and water)
Fofino [41]

Answer:

Dietary\ Calories=65.6kcal

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since we can see that the heat released by the combustion of the mayonnaise is absorbed by the bomb calorimeter and water, we can set up the following equation:

m_{mayonnaise}q_{mayonnaise}=C\Delta T

Whereas q for mayonnaise stands for the heat due to its usage; thus, we plug in to obtain:

q_{mayonnaise}=\frac{5.20kJ/\°C*2.93\°C}{0.555g} \\\\q_{mayonnaise}=27.45\frac{kJ}{g}

Now, if 10.0 g are eaten, the energy provided by it turns out:

E_{mayonnaise}=27.45kJ/g*10.0g\\\\E_{mayonnaise}=274.5kJ

And we need that value in dietary calories, 1 kcal:

Dietary\ Calories=274.52kJ*\frac{1kcal}{4.184kJ}\\\\ Dietary\ Calories=65.6kcal

Best regards!

when obtaining energy, why mushrooms are more like elephants eating and not like dandelions absorbing sunlight.
Julli [10]

Answer:

Because they lack chlorophyll (a green pigment in plants that helps them trap sunlight, used to manufacture their food through photosynthesis)

Explanation:

Mushrooms are heterotrophs. They are not plants or autotrophs. Mushrooms, just like every living thing that exists need energy in order to live. Only plants, or autotrophs, can directly use energy from the sun (the ultimate energy) to make food. Those organisms that cannot harness the sun's energy are known as heterotrophs. Mushrooms are fungi (belong to kingdom Fungi) and are heterotrophs because they decompose and consume nutrients from the soil. They are not green so they cannot photosynthesis due to lack of chlorophyll.

According to the periodic table of the elements, which set of elements has similar properties?
erma4kov [3.2K]
In chemistry, "chemical properties" of elements usually refers to the electron affinity of an atom (number of valence electrons) This is because atoms with the same number of valence electrons will form similar compounds with other atoms, and undergo the same types of reactions.

Out of this list: He, Ne and Ar are all group 18 elements (Noble gases)
Therefore they have similar chemical properties.
