Assume for simplicity that all the dissolved salts in seawater are N aCl.arrow_forwardA less than youthful 94.6 kg physics professor decides to run the 26.2 mile (42.195 km) Los Angeles Marathon. During his months of training, he realizes that one important component in running a successful marathon is carbo-loading, the consumption of a sufficient quantity of carbohydrates prior to the race that the body can store as glycogen to burn during the race. The typical energy requirement for runners is 1 kcal/km per kilogram of body weight, and each mole of oxygen intake allows for the release of 120 kcal of energy by oxidizing (burning) glycogen. (a) If the professor finishes the marathon in 4:15:00 h, what is the professor's oxygen intake rate, in liters per minute, during the race if he metabolizes all of the carbo-loaded glycogen during the race and the ambient temperature is 22.0°C? L/min (b) The human body has an efficiency of 25.0%. Only 25.0% of the energy released from oxidizing glycogen is used as macroscopic mechanical energy, and the remaining 75.0% is used for…arrow_forward
- (a) A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengersand 5 crew members from Kansas City (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11,800 lb (about 1700 gallons)of Jet A fuel en route. Jet A fuel is kerosine based,consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, withn: 5 6 to 16, so the carbonhydrogen ratio is close to12. During this flight, how much CO2 was releasedinto the atmosphere? Assume the combustion of thefuel was complete, so all the fuel was burned to formCO2 and H2O. Give both the mass of CO2 produced(in kg and in lbs) and the volume it would occupy at298 K, 1 atm.(b) How much CO2 would be released into the atmosphere if those passengers and crew made the tripinstead, in pairs, in hybrid cars at 40 miles per gallon.Assume the density of the gasoline is 0.75 kg L21andthat carbon and hydrogen dominate the compositionin a ratio of 1:2.
