Q: A food contains 10 g of fat, 5 g of protein, and 20 g of carbohydrates. Using the energy values (fat: 9 kcal/g, protein: 4 kcal/g, carbohydrate: 4 kcal/g), what is the total energy content of the food?

$$(10 \times 9) + (5 \times 4) + (20 \times 4) = 90 + 20 + 80 = 190$$ kcal

Q: A sample of water is heated from $$20^\circC to$$ $$80^\circC. If $$the mass of water is 100 g and the specific heat is $$4.18 \frac{J}{g \cdot ^\circ C}$$, how much energy is required?

$$q = m \times c \times \Delta T = 100 \times 4.18 \times (80 - 20) = 100 \times 4.18 \times 60 = 25,080 J$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for density?

$$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$$

Q: Which of the following is a correct conversion factor for changing milliliters to liters?

$$1 \text{ mL} = 0.001 \text{ L}$$

Q: Which of the following is the correct formula for calculating energy using mass and change in temperature?

$$q = m \times c \times \Delta T$$
