How many kJ in 2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter that contains 6 g of carb. 14 g of fat and 9 g of protein

Expert Solution
Step 1

•It is given that two tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter contains 6g  of carbohydrates, 14g of fat and 9g of protein.

 

i) The mass of carbohydrates present in peanut butter is 6g. 

Since, the energy value of 1 g carbohydrates is 17 KJ.

Then, the energy value of 6 g carbohydrates= 102KJ                                                                         

ii) The mass of fat present in peanut butter is 14g. 

Since, the energy value of 1 g fat is 38 KJ.

Then, the energy value of 14 g fat=532 KJ(i.e. 14×38)
