chemist would never write a chemical equation for melting of chocolate why is this
Answers
Answer:
Theobromine is a slightly water-soluble (330 mg/L), crystalline, bitter powder. Theobromine is white or colourless, but commercial samples can be yellowish.
...
Theobromine.
Answer:
I can’t conceive any chemist doing so - it is a simple physical reaction.
chocolate(s) + delta(H) → chocolate(l)
where delta(H) means: apply some thermal energy. (s) shows a solid state and (l) shows a liquid state.
Chocolate contains numerous diferent chemical compounds and it would be pointless writing them all down one after the other with exactly the same sort of equation.
A variation of the theme would be the change of entropy of the system where delta(S) = integral (dQ/T) (S = entropy, Q = heat supplied, T = temperature at which the heat is supplied. dQ means : a small amount of heat and delta means: large change in. Here we are looking at the specific heat capacity of chocolate and the latent heat capacity of fusion of chocolate (and of course we need to know the starting temperature and the melting point of choclate).
But only a mad chemistry or physics teacher/ lecturer would set that as a problem.
