Question

Chapter 10 (10.122)
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.
Substance ΔH∘f
(kJ/mol)
CO2(g) −393.5
C6H12O6(s) −1273.3
H2O(l) −285.8
O2(g) 0

1) 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 .
