Question

If a 59.04 kg person ate 232 calories worth of sugar (about the calories in a typical energy drink and they converted all of that energy to heat immediately, what would be the change in temperature of that person?  

A couple of useful facts for this problem.  

  • Food calories are actually kilocalories.  
  • 1.000 kilocalorie = 4184 Joule
  • We will assume that the average specific heat of this person's body is 3.00 J/gºC.
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that amount of kilocalories consumed is 232 . It can be converted into Joules as shown below:

1.000 kcal = 4184 J232 kcal =4184 J×232 kcal1 kcal=970688 J
