An athlete is given 100 g of glucose (`C_6H_12O_6`) of energy equivalent to 1560 kJ. He utilises 50% of this gained energy in the event. In order to avoid the storage of energy in the body, calculate the weight of water he would need to perspire. The enthalpy of evaporation of water is `44 kJ mol^(-1)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Moles of `H_(2)O` needs to perspire = `(1560)/(2 xx 44) = 17.72`
Weight of water needs to perspire `= 17.72 xx 18 = 318.96 g`
