The metabolism of glucose, C6H12O6, yields carbon dioxide, CO2(g), and water, H2O(l), as products. Energy released in this metabolic process is converted to useful work, w, with about 66.0 % efficiency. Use the data below to answer questions about the metabolism of glucose.
Calculate the mass of glucose metabolized by a 46.2 kg person in climbing a mountain with an elevation gain of 1810 m . Assume that the work performed in the climb is four times that required to simply lift 46.2 kg by 1810 m .
