The heat of combustion of glycogen is ab...

The heat of combustion of glycogen is about `476 kJ mol^(-1)` of carbon. Assume that average heat loss by an adult male is `150W`. If we were to assume that all the heat comes from oxidation of glycogen, how many units of glycogen `(1mol` carbon per unit) must be oxidised per day to provide for this heat loss?
