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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The body must produce 120.87 g of fat to store 1100 calories. In pounds, its value is 0.266 pounds.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Data we are provided with:

It is given that 1 pint of premium ice cream contains 1100 calories.

The average number of calories for fat is 9.1 calories/g.

02

Amount of fat

The mass of fat required to be produced is calculated as:

Mass Of fat = 1100 cal/9.1cal/g

= 120.87 gm

1 grams = 0.00220462 pounds

120.87 grams = 0.266 pounds

Ethylene, \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}\), a byproduct from the fractional distillation of petroleum, is fourth among the 50 chemical compounds produced commercially in the largest quantities. About 80% of synthetic ethanol is manufactured from ethylene by its reaction with water in the presence of a suitable catalyst. \({{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{(g) + }}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{2}}}{\bf{O(g)}} \to {{\bf{C}}_{\bf{2}}}{{\bf{H}}_{\bf{5}}}{\bf{OH(l)}}\).Using the data in the table inAppendix G, calculate ΔH° for the reaction.

Calculate the enthalpy of combustion of propane, C3H8(g), for the formation of H2O(g) and CO2(g). The enthalpy of formation of propane is -104 kJ/mol.
