A typical candy bar weighs about 2 oz (1.00 oz = 28.4 g).(a) Assuming that a candy bar is 100% sugar and that 1.0 g of sugar is equivalent to about 4.0 Calories of energy, calculate the energy (in kJ) contained in a typical candy bar.(b) Assuming that your mass is 58 kg and you convert chemical potential energy to work with 100% efficiency, how high would you have to climb to work off the energy in a candy bar? (Potential energy = mass × g × height, where g = 9.8 m/s2.)(c) Why is your actual conversion of potential energy to work less than 100% efficient?
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
When organic matter decomposes under oxygen-free (anaerobic) conditions, methane is one of the products. Thus, enormous deposits of natural gas, which is almost entirely methane, serve as a major source of fuel for home and industry.(a) Known deposits of natural gas can produce 5600 EJ of energy (1 EJ = 1018 J). Current total global energy usage is 4.0×102 EJ per year. Find the mass (in kg) of known deposits of natural gas (ΔH°rxn for the combustion of CH4 = -802 kJ/mol).(b) At current rates of usage, for how many years could these deposits supply the world’s total energy needs?(c) What volume (in ft3) of natural gas, measured at STP, is required to heat 1.00 qt of water from 25.0°C to 100.0°C (d of H2O = 1.00 g/mL; d of CH4 at STP = 0.72 g/L)?(d) The fission of 1 mol of uranium (about 4×10-4 ft3) in a nuclear reactor produces 2×1013 J. What volume (in ft3) of natural gas would produce the same amount of energy?

Assume a person requires 1.00 102 kcal of energy for this time period. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 1.00 102 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of oxygen consumed and hence the amount of KO2 required. The ff0 for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
