Subject:
you are a food specialist in a company that specializes in refrigerated delicacies, and one of your brands requires being maintained at a temperature of 5°C. You determine average water activity (aw) at this temperature to be 0.2. One day, you are informed that the cooling systems on one of the delivery trucks carrying your company’s products malfunctioned while en route to its destination and it would not be fixed until the next delivery. The driver has informed you that the temperature in the delivery bay of the truck is averaging 55°C. You estimate a heat of sorption (Q) of 19 kJ/mol. Calculate the water activity of the brand at this elevated temperature and comment on it’s integrity. Should the delivery still push through? Or should the products be recalled and disposed

- A sample of 2.10 g of potato chips was burned in a calorimeter. The calorimeter was calibrated to have a heat capacity of 6.94 kcal/ °C. The heat released caused the temperature of the calorimeter to increase 1.51 °C. Calculate the food caloric content of the potato chips in nutritional calories per gram to three significant figures. Recall that 1 nutritional calorie (Cal) = 1 kcal.arrow_forward) The salt potassium perchlorate is soluble in water. When 2.84 g of KClO4 is dissolved in 106.00 g of water, the temperature of the solution decreases from 25.00 to 22.54 °C. Based on this observation, calculate the enthalpy of dissolution of KClO4 (in kJ/mol).Assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/g °C and that the heat absorbed by the calorimeter is negligible.arrow_forwardMeasurements show that the energy of a mixture of gaseous reactants increases by 173. kJ during a certain chemical reaction, which is carried out at a constant pressure. Furthermore, by carefully monitoring the volume change it is determined that 82. kJ of work is done on the mixture during the reaction. Calculate the change in enthalpy of the gas mixture during the reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

After five minutes, the ice cube disappears. Ice Cube Hot Water Water 5 min. Which best describes the change that took place inside the container? Heat energy in the ice cube was dissipated into the hot water. Heat energy in the hot water was reduced by kinetic energy in the ice cube. The total heat energy in the container was reduced by the ice cube. O The hot water lost the same amount of heat energy as the ice cube gained.arrow_forward
- When 3.02 g of NH4Cl is dissolved in enough water to make 20.05 mL of solution, the temperature dropped from 19.8°C to 9.1°C. Calculate the enthalpy change (in kJ) when 1 mole of NH4Cl is dissolved in water. The density and specific heat of water are 1.00 g/mL and 4.18 J/g°C respectively.arrow_forwardGiven the following information, calculate the heat of solution for the salt in the unit of kJ. A calorimeter contains 44.96 g of water. The temperatures of the calorimeter and water are both 22.6 degrees Celsius. 2.42 g of salt is dissolved in the water.
