5.0 x 10² KJ
From the question given above,
A snickers® candy bar contains 280 calories. Fat content = 120 calories
1 calorie = 4.184 j
120 calories = 120 x 4,184 = 502.08j = 5.0 x 10² KJ
The energy of the fat content is 5.0 x 10² KJ.
The energy of fat content will be: 0.50.
Further Explanation:
Fatty acids are the compounds which consists of a carboxylic acid containing hydrocarbon chain. The cell membrane of the cells are made up of lipids. The lipid molecule contains fatty acid tail into their structure.
Fats are necessary content in our diet. They have high storage of energy when compared to others.
There can be two types of fats:
1. Saturated fats: They have only single bond present in their carbon-carbon skeleton
2. Unsaturated fats: They have presence of double or triple bond in their carbon-carbon skeleton.
If a candy bar contains 280 calories out of which fat accounts for 120 calories then the energy of fat content will be 0.5 in kilojoules.
As, 1 cal=4.184
And 1 joules=1000 KJ
Therefore;
[tex]\begin{gathered}120{\text{ cal}}=120\times\frac{{4.184}}{{1000}}\\=0.05\\\end{gathered}[/tex]
Hence the content of fat in kilo joules will be equal to 0.05
