Chapter 3, Problem 89E

(choose chapter or problem)

At the end of 2009, global population was about 6.8 billion people. What mass of glucose in \(kg\) would be needed to provide \(1500\) Cal/person/day of nourishment to the global population for one year? Assume that glucose is metabolized entirely to \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)\) according to the following thermochemical equation:

\(\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6(s)+6\mathrm{\ O}_2(g)\longrightarrow6\mathrm{\ CO}_2(g)+6\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}(l)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \Delta H^{\circ}=-2803\mathrm{\ kJ}\)

CO_2 (g)

H_2 O(l)

C_6 H_12 O_6(s) + 6 O_2 (g) rightarrow 6 CO_2 (g) + 6H_2 O(l)

Delta H degree = -2803 kJ
