The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to calculate the amount of glucose required to climb a flight of stairs and a mountain, using the enthalpy of combustion of glucose. We will also find the relationship between the two amounts of glucose. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Given Data:** - Molar mass of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) = 180 g/mol - Enthalpy of combustion of glucose = -2808 kJ/mol - Weight of the person = 62.5 kg = 62500 g - Gravitational acceleration (g) = 9.81 m/s² - Useful work conversion efficiency = 25% 2. **Calculate the energy required to climb 3 meters:** - The potential energy (PE) gained when climbing a height (h) is given by: \[ PE = m \cdot g \cdot h \] - For climbing 3 meters: \[ PE = 62500 \, \text{g} \cdot 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 3 \, \text{m} \] \[ PE = 62500 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 3 = 1,843,125 \, \text{g m}^2/\text{s}^2 = 1,843.125 \, \text{kJ} \] 3. **Calculate the useful energy from glucose:** - Since only 25% of the energy from glucose combustion is converted to useful work: \[ \text{Useful energy} = 0.25 \times 2808 \, \text{kJ/mol} = 702 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] 4. **Calculate the moles of glucose needed (X) to climb 3 meters:** - To find the moles of glucose required: \[ \text{Moles of glucose} = \frac{\text{Total energy required}}{\text{Useful energy per mole}} \] \[ \text{Moles of glucose} = \frac{1843.125 \, \text{kJ}}{702 \, \text{kJ/mol}} \approx 2.62 \, \text{mol} \] 5. **Convert moles to grams (X):** - Using the molar mass of glucose: \[ X = 2.62 \, \text{mol} \times 180 \, \text{g/mol} \approx 471.6 \, \text{g} \] 6. **Calculate the energy required to climb 3000 meters:** - For climbing 3000 meters: \[ PE = 62500 \, \text{g} \cdot 9.81 \, \text{m/s}^2 \cdot 3000 \, \text{m} \] \[ PE = 62500 \cdot 9.81 \cdot 3000 = 1,836,375,000 \, \text{g m}^2/\text{s}^2 = 1,836,375 \, \text{kJ} \] 7. **Calculate the useful energy from glucose for 3000 meters:** - Useful energy remains the same: \[ \text{Useful energy} = 702 \, \text{kJ/mol} \] 8. **Calculate the moles of glucose needed (Y) to climb 3000 meters:** - To find the moles of glucose required: \[ \text{Moles of glucose} = \frac{1836375 \, \text{kJ}}{702 \, \text{kJ/mol}} \approx 2615.5 \, \text{mol} \] 9. **Convert moles to grams (Y):** - Using the molar mass of glucose: \[ Y = 2615.5 \, \text{mol} \times 180 \, \text{g/mol} \approx 471,000 \, \text{g} \] 10. **Find the relationship between X and Y:** - Given that \( X = mY \): \[ m = \frac{X}{Y} = \frac{471.6}{471000} \approx 0.001 \] ### Final Answer: - The value of \( m \) is approximately **0.001**.
