An average person needs about 10,000 kJ energy per day. The amount of ...
1 kJ = 1000 J, 1 J = 1 kg m^2 s^-2, 1 cal = 4.184 J, 1 cal = 4.184 J, 1 kcal = 1000 cal.
First, let's convert 10,000 kJ to cal:
10,000 kJ = 10,000 * 1000 cal = 10,000,000 cal
Now, let's convert cal to J:
10,000,000 cal = 10,000,000 * 4.184 J = 41,840,000 J
Next, let's convert J to kg m^2 s^-2:
41,840,000 J = 41,840,000 * 1 kg m^2 s^-2 = 41,840,000 kg m^2 s^-2
Finally, let's convert kg m^2 s^-2 to g:
41,840,000 kg m^2 s^-2 = 41,840,000 g
Since the molar mass of glucose is 180.0 g/mol, we can calculate the amount of glucose needed:
41,840,000 g / 180.0 g/mol = 232,444.44 mol
Rounding to the nearest integer, the amount of glucose needed to meet the energy requirement is approximately 232,444 g.
An average person needs about 10,000 kJ energy per day. The amount of ...
Energy released due to combustion of 1 mol Glucose = 2700kJ
2700 kJ requires 180g of glucose
Hence 1kJ requires 180/2700g of Glucose
10,000 kJ requires 18/2700 x 10,000g of Glucose
= 667 g
