A serving of soup contains 5.0 g of fat, 20.0 g of carbohydrates, and 3.0 g of protein. Determine how many kilocalories (kcal) are contained in this serving.

The amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal

Explanation:

As per the USDA:

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.

We are given

Mass of fat in the soup serving = 5.0 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the soup serving = 20.0 g

Mass of protein in the soup serving = 3.0 g

Conversion factor used:  1 kCal = 1000 Cal

Applying unitary method:

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 5.0 gram of fat will provide =

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 20.0 gram of carbohydrates will provide =

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 3.0 gram of fat will provide =

Total kilocalories per serving = [0.045 + 0.080 + 0.012] kCal = 0.137 kCal

Hence, the amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
