Mass of sample = 0.2492g Number of insects = 6 Initial watch glass weight = 90.7712g Weighing of watch glass after hexane evaporation = 90.8850g Mass of crude fats = 0.1138g Percent of crude fats in tissue sample = 45.67% 1.) For adults, the recommended daily intake of fats is around 60g. Based on the class results above, how many grams of the tissue analyzed would you have to consume to meet the daily requirement? 2.) How many insects would have to be consumed to meet the daily requirement? 3.) Butter is about 85% fat, and a typical person spreads about 3g of butter on a piece of toast. How many bugs would you have to spread on your toast for an equivalent amount of fat?
Mass of sample = 0.2492g
Number of insects = 6
Initial watch glass weight = 90.7712g
Weighing of watch glass after hexane evaporation = 90.8850g
Mass of crude fats = 0.1138g
Percent of crude fats in tissue sample = 45.67%
1.) For adults, the recommended daily intake of fats is around 60g. Based on the class results above, how many grams of the tissue analyzed would you have to consume to meet the daily requirement?
2.) How many insects would have to be consumed to meet the daily requirement?
3.) Butter is about 85% fat, and a typical person spreads about 3g of butter on a piece of toast. How many bugs would you have to spread on your toast for an equivalent amount of fat?
4.) The crude fat could also be converted to methylated fatty acids and used as a biofuel in diesel engines and aircraft. Note the mass of the biofuel is essentially the same as that of the crude fats used to make it.
a) If the biofuel has a density of 880g/L, how many grams of insects would be needed to make a liter of biodiesel?
b) How many insects would be needed?
c) How many insects would be required to fill a 15gal (57L) fuel tank?
