(a)
Interpretation:
Energy unit conversion needs to be done between Cal and cal.
Concept Introduction:
The Calorie and calorie are different from each other by their definition. Calorie is kilocalorie and the unit is represented as kcal or Cal. Similarly, calorie is represented as cal.
The following conversion factor can be used;

- A 2-in. piece of chocolate cake with frosting provides 1670 kJ of energy. What is this in dietary Calories (Cal)?arrow_forwardA student used a coffee-cup calorimeter to determine the enthalpy of solution for NH4NO3.When NH4NO3 is added to water, there is a decrease in temperature of the solution. Is the solution process exothermic or endothermic? (a) endothermic (b) exothermicarrow_forwardA rebreathing gas mask contains potassium superoxide, KO2, which reacts with moisture in the breath to give oxygen. 4KO2(s)+2H2O(l)4KOH(s)+3O2(g) Estimate the grams of potassium superoxide required to supply a persons oxygen needs for one hour. 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
- A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expends about 0.45 Cal/h for every pound of body weight. How many Calories would a 171 lb person burn during 10 hours of sleep? (Note that 1 Cal = 1 kcal.) A pound of body fat stores an amount of chemical energy equivalent to 3,500 Cal. When sleeping, the average adult burns or expends about 0.42 Cal/h for every pound of body weight.How long would the person have to sleep continuously to lose 1 lb of body fat? (Assume the person weighs 155 lb.)arrow_forwardA serving size of eight cookies contains 7 g of fat, 17 g of carbohydrates, and 8 g of protein. If walking 1 mile consumes 170 kJ of energy, how many miles must you walk to burn off enough calories to eat eight cookies? Assume the energy content of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are 8 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, and 4 kcal/g, respectively. 1 cal = 4.184 J.arrow_forwardA serving size of four cookies contains 7 g of fat, 16 g of carbohydrates, and 5 g of protein. If walking 1 mile consumes 170 kJ of energy, how many miles must you walk to burn off enough calories to eat four cookies? Assume the energy content of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are 8 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, and 4 kcal/g, respectively. 1 cal = 4.184 J.arrow_forward
- A pint of premium ice cream can contain 1100 Calories. What mass of fat, in grams and pounds, must be produced in the body to store an extra 1.1 × 103 Calories if the average number of Calories for fat is 9.1 Calories/g?arrow_forwardA serving of peanut butter contains 204 food calories. The serving contains 9 grams of protein, 16 grams of fat and 6 g of carbohydrate. What percentage of calories comes from fat? (1 g fat = 9 kcal) (1 g protein = 4 kcal) (1 g carbohydrate = 4 kcal)arrow_forwardA serving size of six cookies contains 6 g of fat, 23 g of carbohydrates, and 9 g of protein. If walking 1 mile consumes 170 kJ of energy, how many miles must you walk to burn off enough calories to eat six cookies? Assume the energy content of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins are 8 kcal/g, 4 kcal/g, and 4 kcal/g, respectively. 1 cal = 4.184 J.arrow_forward
- The average American woman self-reports consuming 1.785x10^3 kcal/day. For a 139.0lb woman, express this value in joules per second per kilogram of body mass (watts per kilogram).arrow_forwardComplete the following table. Round each of your answers to 3 significant digits. food an ounce of breakfast corn flakes an ear of cooked corn a chocolate chip cookie cal energy content when eaten 1.10 x 107 kcal B 85.0 ☐ kJ 0 0 188.arrow_forwardUse your data to calculate the number of Calories in a 3.4 g sugar cube. (Molecular mass of sugar = 342.2965 g/mol; ΔHcomb sugar = 5639 kJ/mol; 1 Calorie = 1 Kcal)arrow_forward
