Answer #1

Answer-

1-liter oxygen has 876 grams weight.

Therefore, 876 grams of oxygen can make following energy=

1 mole oxygen gives 119 Kcal energy.

1 mole = 1gram

Therefore, 876 grams will give = 119 x 876 Kcal energy

876 grams will give = 104244 Kcal energy

On the other hand, 1 gram glucose gives 4 calories.

876 gram glucose will give = 876 x 4 calories

876 gram glucose will give = 3504 calories

Percentage increase in energy through oxygen consumption = (104244/3504) x100

Percentage increase in energy through oxygen consumption = 2975%

1 gram fat gives 9 calorie energy.

Therefore, 876 grams fat will give = 9 x 876 calories

876 grams fat will give = 7884 calories

Percentage increase in energy through oxygen consumption compare to fat = (104244/7884) x100

Percentage increase in energy through oxygen consumption compare to fat = 1322%

7)When you jog, most of the food energy you burn above your basal metabolic rate (BMR) ends up as internal energy that would raise your body temperature if it were not eliminated. The evaporation of perspiration is the primary mechanism for eliminating this energy. Determine the amount of water you lose to evaporation when running for 38 minutes at a rate that uses 400 kcal/h above your BMR. (That amount is often considered to be the "maximum fat-burning" energy output....
