A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut. During the experiment, the measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 g

Explanation:

Given that,

A calorimeter made from a can is used to measure the calories in a peanut.

During the experiment, the  measured calories were 35% of the true/accepted value given by references

Suppose, the mass of peanut is 0.4 g and find the

We need to calculate the heat generated per gram of sample in calories

Using formula of heat generated

Put the value into the formula

Hence, The heat generated per gram of sample in calories is 0.87 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.
