A person requires 2870kcal of energy to lead normal daily life. If heat of combustion of cane sugar is -1349kcal , then his daily comsumption of sugar is :

An average person eats carbohydrates equivalent to 0.350 kg of glucose and 0.200 kg of fats every day. The person needs about 10000 kJ per day. If the body consumes carbohydrates preferentially, how much will his weight increase per year assuming that only 50% of the excess fats are excreted. Give that the heat of combustion of glucose is 2900 kJ and combustion of fats produces energy equivalent to 39000 kJ kg^(-1) ?

NaClO_(3) is used even is spacecrafts to produce O_(2) . The daily consumption fo pure O_(2) by a person is 492 L at atm , 300k .How much amount of NaClO_(3) , in grams is required to produce O_(2) for the daily consumption of a person at 1 atm 300K ?_________. NaClO_(3)(s) +Fe(s) to O_(2)(g) +NaCl_(s) +FeO(s) R = 0.082L atm mol^(-) K^(-1)

The heat of combustion of acetylene is 312 kcal. If the heat of formation of CO_2 is 94.38 kcal and that of water is 63.38 kcal, calculate C -=C bond energy assuming that the bond energy of C-H is 93.6 kcal. Heat of atomisation of carbon and hydrogen are 150 and 51.5 kcal respectively.

The heat of combustion of acetylene is 312 Kcal . If heat of formation of CO_(2) & H_(2)O are -94 & -68 Kcal respectively . Given that heat of atomisation of C& H are 150 & 50 Kcal respectively and C-H bond energy is 93 Kcal . Calculate (DeltaH_(C=C))/(6)

A person weighing 50 kg takes in 1500 kcal dict per day. If this energy were to be used in heating the body of person without any losses, then the rise in his temperature is ( specific heat of human body = 0.83 calg^(-1)C^(-1) )

To maintain his health a person must fulfil certain minimum daily requiremens for several kinds of nutrients. Assuming that there are only thee kinds of nutrients-calcium, protein and calories and the person’s diet consists of only two food items, I and II, whose price and nutrient contents are shown in the table below: , Food I (per Ib), Food II (per Ib), Minimum daily requirement for the nutrient Calcium Protein Calories, 10 5 2, 5 4 6, 20 20 13 Price (Rs.), 60, 100, What combination of two food items will satisfy the daily requirement and entail the least cost? Formulate this as a LPP.
