Yes, the volume of popped corn is influenced by the percentage of water in unpopped kernels. When heated, the water inside the kernel turns to steam, creating pressure until the kernel bursts. A higher moisture content generally allows for more steam generation, leading to a larger and fluffier popped corn. However, if the moisture content is too low, the kernels may not pop effectively.

Why is the mass of an unpopped kernel different from a popped one?

The mass of an unpopped kernel and a popped one is effectively the same, as the mass is conserved in the process of popping. However, the apparent difference arises from the expansion and transformation of the kernel. When a kernel pops, water vaporizes and escapes, leading to a change in volume and texture, but the total mass remains unchanged. Thus, any perceived weight difference is due to the physical state rather than a loss of mass.


How much a gallon of fruit and vegetable seeds weigh?

It depends how big the seeds are, since a gallon is a measure of volume which cannot be easily converted into a weight without knowing what the exact substance is. For example, a gallon of popped popcorn will weigh much less than a gallon of unpopped kernals (since you can fit more kernals in a gallon than you can popped popcorn). Seeds do vary in weight quite a lot.


How many calories in 50 grams of popcorn kernels?

There are approximately 350 to 400 calories in 50 grams of unpopped popcorn kernels. The exact number can vary slightly depending on the type of popcorn. Once popped, the calorie count per serving will decrease due to the added volume from the air and expansion during popping.


What is the percentage formula for change in volume?

Percentage change in volume= Change in volume/intial volume X 100


What is the percentage error in the volume of Sphere when error in the measurement of its radius is 2 answer by pradeep?

The volume ( V ) of a sphere is given by the formula ( V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 ). The percentage error in the volume can be approximated using the formula for percentage error in terms of radius: if the error in the radius ( r ) is ( \Delta r ), then the percentage error in volume is approximately ( 3 \times \frac{\Delta r}{r} ). Therefore, if the error in the radius measurement is 2, the percentage error in volume would be ( 3 \times \frac{2}{r} \times 100% ). The exact percentage error will depend on the actual value of the radius ( r ).


What is the alcohol by volume percentage in this wine?

Does density depend on its volume?

yes density is volume/mass


Mass and volume depend on the blank of matter?

Mass and volume depend on the density of matter. Density is the measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume.


What is the formula of the percentage by mass and volume?

Percentage by Mass = Mass of substance of interest/Total Mass Percentage by Volume = Volume of substance of interest/Total Volume Converting from one to the other requires information about their relative densities.
