Question

How to write equations and show units for the Total joules gained by water for the Pringle and the Total Joules per gram of food for the Pringle? (V. Calculations)​

Answer 1

Answers:

1. 7500 J; 3800 J/g

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Joules gained by water

q = mcΔT

Data:

m = 100 g

C = 4.184 J·°C⁻¹g⁻¹

ΔT = 18 °C

Calculation:

q = 100 × 4.184 × 18 =7500 J

2. Joules per gram of Pringle

Energy gained by water = energy lost by Pringle

q = -mΔH

7500 J = -1.984 g × ΔH

ΔH = -7500 J/1.984 g = -3800 J/g

Pringles contain 3800 J of food energy per gram.
