Answer:

2.18×10⁴ kJ are liberated when you burn 0.554 kg of olive oil

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart indicates that ΔH combustion for the olive oil is 39.31 kJ/g which means that, when you burn 1 g of olive oil, you have 39.31 kJ of heat.

In this case, the mass of olive is 0.554 kg. Let's convert the mass from kg to g → 0.554 kg . 1000 g / 1kg = 554 g

Now, the conversion factor:

554 g . 39.31 kJ / 1g = 2.18×10⁴ kJ
