Answer:
<em>17500 calories</em> of chocolate bars are needed to eat to gain 5 pounds.
Explanation:
We can use ratios to calculate the answer using the information given in the question.
1 pound : 3500 grams
5 pounds : x grams
As it is given that the individual is burning no calories, we do not have to factor in any additional numbers.
<u><em>Method</em><em> </em><em>A</em><em>:</em></u>
To go from 1 in the first ratio to 5 in the second ratio, they multipled 1 by 5. Hence, to go from 3500 in the first ratio to x in the second ratio, we must multiply by 5.
x = 3500 × 5
x = 17500
<em><u>Method B</u>:</em>
To solve for the answer x, we can convert the ratios into fractions.
1 / 5 = 3500 / x
3500 / x = 1 / 5
To make x the subject, multiply the denominator of the left fraction with the numerator of the right fraction and place it on the left side. Then multiply the numerator of the left fraction with the denominator of the right fraction and place it on the right side.
x = 5 × 3500
x = 17500
Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond which is formed as a result of sharing of electron pairs among the elements that are involved. The structure of the covalent bond is affected by the electronegativity of the elements involved. The molecules joined by covalent bond range in size from very small to very large polymers. There are different types of structures for covalent substances, these include: macromolecular substances, molecular substances and giant covalent structures. Strong bonds hold individual molecules together but there are negligible forces of attraction among them.
