Questions

1. which food item gives you the most energy per gram? compare the larger of the two to a snickers bar which has a value of 215 cal in 28 grams.

2. do you think the values are correct, high or low?

3. the pringles box says 28 grams will give you 150 cal. what is your percent efficiency for your lab?

Answers:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Most food energy

(a) Pringles

Heat from Pringles + heat absorbed by water = 0

m₁ΔH  + m₂CΔT = 0

1.984ΔH + 100 × 4.184 × 18 = 0

1.984ΔH + 7530 = 0

ΔH = -7530/1.984 = -3800 J/g

(b) Cheetos

0.884ΔH + 418.4 × 13 = 0

ΔH = -5400/0.884 = -6200 J/g

Cheetos give you more food energy per gram.

(c) Snickers

Food energy = 215 Cal/28 g × 4184 J/1 Cal = 32 000 J/g

The food energy from Cheetos is much less than that from a Snickers bar

2. Experimental uncertainty

The experimental values are almost certainly too low.

Your burning food is heating up the air around it, so much of the heat of combustion is lost to the atmosphere.

3. Percent efficiency

Experimental food energy = 3800 J/g

Actual food energy = 150 Cal/28 g × 4184 J/1 Cal = 22 000 J/g

% Efficiency = Experimental value/Actual value × 100 %

                    = 3800/22 000 × 100 %

                    = 17 %

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).

the answer is c.the valence of the atoms combine .
