Carbon has a tendency to form covalent bonds.
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
The answer is b it is a combustion reaction
Answer:
40% of the energy release by the peanut is 3500 calories
Explanation:
One calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to increase the temperature of one gram of water for one degree Celsius (or one Kelvin)
Equation for energy gain by water is
Q = mcΔT
where, m is the mass of the object
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
c = 1.0 cal/g?°C.
m = 50 g
ΔT = 50°C - 22°C
= 28°C
Q = (50)× (1)× (28)
= 1400calories
The peanut contain 1400calories of energy .
amount that 40% of energy is released to water ,
so,
Q = 1400 calories / 0.4
= 3500 calories
Therefore, 40% of the energy release by the peanut is 3500 calories
