Question

Energy produced per gram is –
(A) Highest in case of wheat starch
(B) Hinghest in case of rice starch
(C) Hinghest in case of potato starch
(D) Same in all cases.

Answer 1

Answer:

Energy content is the amount of heat produced by the burning of 1 gram of a substance, and is measured in joules per gram (J/g). where H = heat energy absorbed (in J), ∆t = change in temperature (in °C), m = mass (in g), and Cp = specific heat capacity (4.18 J/g°C for water).
