3. Matter and Energy

A patient is receiving 3000 mL/day of a solution that contains 5 g of dextrose (glucose) per 100 mL of solution. If glucose provides 4 kcal/g of energy, how many kilocalories per day is the patient receiving from the glucose?

For the unbalanced combustion reaction shown, 1 mol of ethanol, C2H5OH, releases 327 kcal (1370 kJ): C2H5OH + O2 → CO2 + H2OIf the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, calculate the combustion energy of ethanol in kilocalories/milliliter and kilojoules/milliliter

If a catalyst changes the activation energy of a forward reaction from 28.0 kcal/mol to 23.0 kcal/mol, what effect does it have on the reverse reaction?

Indicate whether each of the following statements describes potential or kinetic energy:b. kicking a ball

Using energy values from TABLE3.8, determine each of the following:c. If Charles consumes 1800 kcal per day, he will maintain his weight. Would he lose weight on his new diet?

Discuss the changes in the potential and kinetic energy of a roller-coaster ride as the roller-coaster car climbs to the top and goes down the other side.

In a compound, chemical energy is primarily contained in the:

What is a catalyst, and what effect does it have on the activation energy of a reaction?

The relationship between the nutritional unit for energy and the metric unit is 1 calorie = 1 kcal.a. One donut contains 350 Calories. Convert this to calories and joules.

Using the energy values for foods (see TABLE3.7), determine each of the following (round off the answer for each food type to the tens place):a. the total kilojoules in two tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter that contains 6 g of carbohydrate, 16 g of fat, and 7g of protein

For dinner, Charles had one cup of clam chowder, which contains 16g of carbohydrate, 12g of fat, and 9 g of protein. How much energy, in kilocalories and kilojoules, is in the clam chowder? (Round off the answer for each food type to the tensplace.)

A 70.0-kg person had a quarter-pound cheeseburger, french fries, and a chocolate shake. (3.5)

d. Using TABLE3.10, determine the number of hours of running needed to burn off the kilocalories in this meal.

A patient receives 3.2 L of intravenous (IV) glucose solution. If 100. mL of the solution contains 5.0 g of glucose (carbohydrate), how many kilocalories did the patient obtain from the glucose solution?

Using the energy values for foods (see TABLE3.7), determine each of the following (round off the answer for each food type to the tens place):d. the grams of fat in one avocado that has 405 kcal, 13 g of carbohydrate, and 5 g of protein
