One match releases approximately 1,100 joules of heat energy when it is lit. If 1 joule equals 0.239 calories , how many of these matches must be lit to produce 2, 100cg calories of heat energy ?

Respuesta :

  • 8 of the matches has to be lit, in order to produce 2100 calories of heat energy

If 1 match releases 1100 joules of heat energy and we know that 1 joule = 0.239 calories. This means that 1 match releases 1100 * 0.239 calories

1 match releases 262.9 calories.

Again, if 1 match produces 262.9 calories, then

1 match = 262.9 calories

x match = 2100 calories

if we cross multiply, we have

1 match * 2100 calories = x match * 262.9 calories

x match = 2100/262.9

x match = 7.987 matches

Therefore, approximately 8 matches are needed
