Energy from glucose:Amount of drinking water to avoid energy storage in body
An athlete is given 100 g of Glucose
(C_6 H_12 O_6) of energy equivalent to 1560 kJ. He utilises 50 % of this gained energy in the event. In order to avoid storage of energy in the body, calculate the mass of water he would need to perspire. The enthalpy of evaporation of water is 44 kJ/mole.
The solution explains each step and provides all mathematical steps.

- How many kilometers can you walk after eating 120 g of glucose ? - The enthalpy change involved in the oxidation of Glucose is -2880 kJ/mol. 25 % of the energy is available for muscular work. If 100 kJ of muscular work is needed to walk one kilometer, what is the ma ...
- Working with heats of formation to calculate the amount of grams required to release a specific amount of heat. - Glucose reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water: If the heat of formation of glucose, carbon dioxide, and water are -1273.3 kJ mol-1, -393.5 kJ mol-1 and -285.8kJ mol-1. How many grams o ...

- Understanding heat, enthalpy, and entropy when boiling water. - If you boil water are you increasing Delta H, Delta E, or Delta S (heat, enthalpy, or entropy)?
- consuming too many carbohydrates causes deposition of fats in adipose tissue - How can this happen and why aren't the molecules stored in glycogen instead?
