An athlete is given 100g of glucose (C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)) of energy equivalent to 1560 kJ. He utilizes 50% of this gained energy in the event . In order to avoid storage of energy in the body, calculate the weight of water he would need to perspire. The enthalpy of evaporation of water is 44 "kJ mole"^(-1)

Answer»

Solution :Energy remained in the body of the athlete after the event
`=(1560)/(2)=780"kJ"`
`:.` weight of water to be evaporated by `780 kJ` of energy
`=(18)/(44)xx780=319.1g. (H_(2)O=18)`
