Recap - Fat in Chips

Part of the Food Chemistry and the Lab section of Coddy's Chemistry journey. Lesson 26 of 27.

Challenge

Energy on the label

A food company tests a new bag of potato chips. The lab finds that the chips are 15% fat by mass; the rest is mostly starch. A food label counts $37\ \mathrm{kJ}$ for every gram of fat and $17\ \mathrm{kJ}$ for every gram of carbohydrate.

A bag holds $50\ \mathrm{g}$ of chips. How much energy E does the fat in one bag give?
