One hour of bicycle racing can require 500-900 kcal of energy, depending on the speed of the race, the terrain, and the weight o

f the racer. Tour de France riders must consume abnormal amounts of food to supply this energy. Food in the form of protein or carbohydrates produces 17.0 kJ of energy per gram consumed. How many kilograms of protein or carbohydrate must be consumed to provide the energy for 175 minutes of racing that requires 650.0 kcal/hr?

Answer:

0.467 kilograms of protein or carbohydrates

Explanation:

First, there is a need to understand that <em>1 kJ = 0.239 kCal</em>

Hence, 17 kJ = 17 x 0.239 = 4.063 kCal

The race requires 650.0 kCal/hr and has to last for 175 minutes.

175 minutes = 175/60 = 2.917 hrs

The total kCal requires for the race = 650 x 2.917 = 1,895.833 kCal

1 g of protein or carbohydrate food produces 17.0 kJ or 4.063 kCal of energy. Hence, the total g of protein or carbohydrate that will produce 1,895.833 kCal of energy would be;

                    1,895.833/4.063 = 466.609 g

<em>1 g = 0.001 kg</em>

466.609 g = 466.609 x 0.001 = 0.467 kg

<em>Hence, </em><em>0.467 </em><em>kilograms of proteins or carbohydrates must be consumed.</em>

How many moles of lead (ii) chromate are in 51 grams of this substance? answer in units of mol?
maria [59]

Mass of lead (II) chromate is 51 g. The molecular formula is PbCrO_{4} and its molar mass is 323.2 g/mol

Number of moles can be calculated using the following formula:

n=\frac{m}{M}

Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.

Putting the values,

n=\frac{(51 g}{323.1937 g/mol}=0.1578 mol

Therefore, number of moles of lead (II) chromate will be 0.1578 mol.

A sample taken from a layer of mica in a canyon has 2.10 grams of potassium-40. A test reveals it to be 2.6 billion years old. H
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

\boxed{ \text{8.40 g}} 

Explanation:

The half-life of K-40 (1.3 billion years) is the time it takes for half of it to decay.  

After one half-life, half (50 %) of the original amount will remain.  

After a second half-life, half of that amount (25 %) will remain, and so on.  

We can construct a table as follows:  

 No. of                                 Fraction

<u>half-lives</u>      <u>    t/yr      </u>       <u>Remaining</u>  

      0               0                          1

      1                1.3  billion              ½

      2              2.6                          ¼

      3              3.9                          ⅛

We see that after 2 half-lives, ¼ of the original mass remains.

Conversely, if two half-lives have passed, the original mass must have been four times the mass we have now.

Original  mass = 4 × 2.10 g = \boxed{ \text{8.40 g}}

Carbon dioxide readily absorbs radiation with an energy of 4.67 x 10-20 J. What is the wavelength and frequency of this radiatio
Tanya [424]

Answer:

ν = 7.04 × 10¹³ s⁻¹

λ = 426 nm

It falls in the visible range

Explanation:

The relation between the energy of the radiation and its frequency is given by Planck-Einstein equation:

E = h × ν

where,

E is the energy

h is the Planck constant (6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ J.s)

ν is the frequency

Then, we can find frequency,

\nu = \frac{E}{h}=  \frac{4.67 \times 10^{-20}J  }{6.63 \times 10^{-34}J.s} = 7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1}

Frequency and wavelength are related through the following equation:

c = λ × ν

where,

c is the speed of light (3.00 × 10⁸ m/s)

λ is the wavelength

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu } =\frac{3.00 \times 10^{8} m/s }{7.04 \times 10^{13} s^{-1} } =4.26 \times 10^{-6}m.\frac{10^{9}nm }{1m} = 426 nm

A 426 nm wavelength falls in the visible range (≈380-740 nm)
