Entropy Change from Digesting Fat. Digesting fat produces
Chapter 20, Problem 20.39(choose chapter or problem)
Entropy Change from Digesting Fat. Digesting fat produces 9.3 food calories per gram of fat, and typically 80% of this energy goes to heat when metabolized. (One food calorie is 1000 calories and therefore equals 4186 J.) The body then moves all this heat to the surface by a combination of thermal conductivity and motion of the blood. The internal temperature of the body (where digestion occurs) is normally 37C, and the surface is usually about 30C. By how much do the digestion and metabolism of a 2.50-g pat of butter change your bodys entropy? Does it increase or decrease?
