- A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expands about 0.45 Cal/h for every pound of body weight. How many Calories would a 192 lb person burn during 7 hours of sleep? (Note that 1 Cal = 1 kcal.)arrow_forwardSodium chloride, the table salt (NaCl) is added in cooking to enhance the flavor of the food. When 10.0 g of NaCl are added in 200.0 mL of water at 25.0oC in a coffee-cup calorimeter, 669 J of heat are absorbed. (Assume that there is no change in volume, d=1.00 g/mL, specific heat=4.18 J/g.oC). Evaluate the truthfulness of this statement: "Based on the above description, the solution process (i.e., the dissolution of NaCl or the breakdown of NaCl into its constituent ions) is exothermic."

- The molecular weight of ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is46 and its density is 0.789 g/cm3.A. What is the molarity of ethanol in beer that is 5%ethanol by volume? [Alcohol content of beer varies fromabout 4% (lite beer) to 8% (stout beer).]B. The legal limit for a driver’s blood alcohol contentvaries, but 80 mg of ethanol per 100 mL of blood (usuallyreferred to as a blood alcohol level of 0.08) is typical. Whatis the molarity of ethanol in a person at this legal limit?C. How many 12-oz (355-mL) bottles of 5% beer coulda 70-kg person drink and remain under the legal limit? A70-kg person contains about 40 liters of water.
