A 2.5 g sample of french fries is placed in a calorimeter with 500.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 21°C. After combustion of the french fries the water has a temperature of 48°C. What is the caloric value (kcal/g) of the french fries? The heat capacity, CH2O, of the water is 1.00 cal/g °C. Remember that the heat, q, absorbed be a given mass, m, of water to raise its temperature ❝T degrees is given by q = mCH2O❝T.

5.4 kcal/g

Explanation: heat content of French fries is released to heat the water through a temperature change of 48-21 = 27°c

Heat content h = 500*1*27 = 13500 cal

Calorific value of French fry = 13500/2.5 = 5400 cal/g

= 5.4k cal/g

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
