Why can't elements be separated into smaller parts using chemical means? Too much energy is required, since you'd have to break them down into protons, neutrons, and electrons. You can get this much energy together with nuclear reactions, but not by chemical means.

Answer:

4477381.7 calories/pound

Explanation:

It is given that,

When a candle burns it produced 41,300 Joules per 1 gram.

We need to convert it into calories per pound.

We know that,

1 cal = 4.184 J

⇒ 1 J = (1/4.184) cal

1 pound = 453.592 grams

⇒1 g = (1/453.592) pounds

Now,

$41300\ \text{Joules per gram}=\dfrac{41300\ \text{Joules}}{\text{gram}}\\\\=41300\times \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{4.184}\ \text{calories}}{\dfrac{1}{453.592}\ \text{gram}}\\\\=4477381.7\ \text{calories/pound}$
