Solution Summary

The heat of reaction and caloric intakes are examined. A complete, neat and step-by-step solution is provided.

Solution Preview

Energy burnt during 22 minutes of exercise = 5900 * (22/60) = 2163.33 kJ

4 kcal = 4 * 4.18 = 16.72 kJ

  • Health Care Economical Sustainability

    A safe statement is moderate exercise, eating smaller portions of 5 to 6 meals per day, being aware of caloric intake and not restricting a caloric intake less than 1300 per day, will metabolize your system to lose one to two pound per week.

  • Health Care Economical Sustainable Practices

    If caloric intake is too low, the body stores fat and you gain weight. If caloric intake is too high you have to burn that much more to lose a pound.
