An exothermic reaction releases 13,450J of heat. How many calories of energy are released? A) 5 56,274 calories B)1,244 caloriesC) 134,500 caloriesD) 3,215 calories

The correct option is;

D) 3,215 calories

Explanation:

Here we are required to convert 13,450 J to calories

1 calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C

Therefore, 1 calorie = 4.184 Joules

Hence, 1 Joule = 1/4.184 calorie for which we have;

13,450 J = 13,450 × 1/4.184 calories = 13,450/4.184 calorie

13,450 J = 3,214.63 calories

Rounding up to the nearest  whole number, we have;

13,450 J ≈ 3,215 calories.

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.
