    The document discusses energy in food and drink. It provides information on energy units and the chemical energy store in foods. It compares the energy content of semi-skimmed milk and an energy drink, finding that the milk contains more energy per 100ml. It also describes an experiment to determine the energy stores of different foods by measuring temperature changes in water heated by burning food samples. The experiment results show food A caused the largest temperature change.

    Energy is measured in joules (J). Food labels usually give energy in kilojoules (kJ).
    1. How many joules (J) are there in one kilojoule (kJ)?


    1000J

    2. Name the energy store associated with food, fuels and batteries.


    Chemical Energy
    Food labels from two drinks are shown below.

    Semi-Skimmed Milk Energy Drink


    Typical Values Per 100ml Typical Values Per 100ml
    Energy 209kJ Energy 118kJ
    Fat 1.8g Fat 0g
    - of which saturates 1.1g - of which saturates 0g
    Carbohydrate 4.8g Carbohydrate 6.5g
    - of which sugars 4.8g - of which sugars 3.6g
    Protein 3.6g Protein 0g
    Salt 0.1g Salt 0.13g

    3. Which of the drinks has the largest store of energy?


    Semi-Skimmed Milk
    4. Suggest why the energy values are given per 100ml instead of per serving.

    The energy content in two food samples was investigated. The following method was used:

    1. 10cm3 of water was poured into a boiling tube.


    thermometer
    2. The starting temperature of the water was
    iiiiiimeasured with the thermometer.
    mounted needle
    3. 3g of the food sample was held on the mounted
    iiiiiineedle and heated until it caught fire.
    water
    4. The burning food was used to heat the water in
    iiiiiithe boiling tube until the flame went out. burning food

    5. The final temperature of the water was recorded.

    5. Give one variable that needs to be kept constant in the experiment to make it a fair test.

    6. Give one source of error in the experiment.

    Energy in Food
    The results of the experiment are shown below.

    Food Starting Temperature (°C) Final Temperature (°C) Change in Temperature (°C)

    A 18.2 38.5 20.3


    B 18.3 37.6 19.3
    C 17.9 38.6

    7. Calculate the temperature change for food C.

    °C

    8. Which food had the largest energy store?

    The table below shows the amount of energy transferred during daily activities.

    Activity Energy Transferred per Minute (kJ)


    sleeping 5
    sitting 6
    standing 7
    washing, dressing 15
    walking slowly 13
    cycling 25
    running 60
    swimming 73

    9. Calculate the number of minutes you would need to cycle for to transfer 1000kJ of energy.

    minutes

    In one 24-hour period, a person spends 10 hours sleeping, 30 minutes running, 30 minutes
    washing and dressing, 2 hours walking slowly, 10 hours sitting and 1 hour standing.

    10. Calculate the total amount of energy transferred during the 24 hours.

    kJ

    11. How much energy should the person take in from food and drink during the day?
