To find out how much carbohydrates (in mass) a healthy man needs to consume to meet his daily energy requirement of 10,000 kJ, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Energy Requirement The average healthy man requires 10,000 kJ of energy per day. ### Step 2: Know the Enthalpy of Combustion of Glucose The enthalpy of combustion of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is given as 2816 kJ/mol. This means that burning one mole of glucose releases 2816 kJ of energy. ...
