An athlete is given 180 g of glucose `(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))`. He utilises 50% of the energy due to internal combustion in the body. In order to avoid storage of energy in the body, calculate the masss of water he would need to perspire. Given enthalpy of combustion of glucose is -2800 kJ `mol^(-1)` and enthalpy of evaporation of water is 44 kJ `mol^(-1)`
