One hour of bicycle riding can require 500-900 kcal of energy, depending on the speed, the terrain, and the weight of the racer. An individual wants to lose weight by riding at a modest effort, consuming 505 kcal of energy per hour. How many hours must he ride to lose 21.0 pounds of body fat? One gram of body fat is equivalent to 7.70 kcal of energy. There are 454 g in 1 lb.

A beaker of hot water with a volume of 43.9 mL has an initial temperature of 94.3 °C. You place a block of metal that has a mass of 43.89 g into the water until the water and metal are at thermal equilibrium. You record that the temperature of the metal increases by 66.56 °C. What is the final temperature °C at thermal equilibrium of the water and block, assuming no heat is lost to the surroundings? The specific heat of the metal block is 0.237 J/g·°C

Carbohydrates serve as a vital source of chemical energy to the human body. Carbohydrates are broken down into smaller units of glucose, among other sugars, providing energy to various muscles and organs, including the brain. On average, for every 9.00 g of carbohydrates consumed, the body will store 153 kJ of energy. Convert this energy value to kilocalories (kcal). 153 kJ = kcal

In the laboratory a student uses a "coffee cup" calorimeter to determine the specific heat of a metal. She heats 19.9 grams of iron to 98.12°C and then drops it into a cup containing 77.7 grams of water at 20.85°C. She measures the final temperature to be 22.83°C. Assuming that all of the heat is transferred to the water, she calculates the specific heat of iron to be J/g°C.
