According to the data, how much energy would be liberated burning 0.554 kg of olive oil?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

2.18×10⁴ kJ are liberated when you burn 0.554 kg of olive oil

Explanation:

The chart indicates that ΔH combustion for the olive oil is 39.31 kJ/g which means that, when you burn 1 g of olive oil, you have 39.31 kJ of heat.

In this case, the mass of olive is 0.554 kg. Let's convert the mass from kg to g → 0.554 kg .  1000 g / 1kg = 554 g

Now, the conversion factor:

554 g . 39.31 kJ / 1g = 2.18×10⁴ kJ

calculate, a can of chicken broth contains 450 mg of sodium chloride in 240.0g of broth. What is the percent by mass of sodium c
svetlana [45]

Answer:

The percent by mass of sodium chloride in the broth is 0.1875 %

Explanation:

Our first step is transforming the sodium chloride figure from mg to g

450mg x 1g/1000 mg= 0.45g

Now, we must calculate the percentage by using the following formula:

0.45g / 240g x 100= 0.1875%

Henceforth, we can conclude that the percentage by mass of sodium chloride in the broth is 0.1875%
