JEE MainChemistryThermodynamicsNumerical+4 / −1
An athlete is given 100 g of glucose (C H O ) for energy. This is equivalent to 1800kJ of energy. The 50% of this energy gained is utilized by the athlete for sports activities at the event. In order to avoid storage of energy, the weight of extra water he would need to perspire is g (Nearest integer) Assume that there is no other way of consuming stored energy. Given : The enthalpy of evaporation of water is 45 kJ mol Molar mass of C, H & O are 12, 1 and 16 g mol .

Correct answer: 360
-
Total energy obtained from glucose
Given, glucose provides energy.
-
Energy utilized for sports activity
Only of this energy is used:
-
Excess energy to be removed
The remaining is not used for work, so to avoid storage it must be lost via perspiration:
-
Use latent heat of evaporation of water
Enthalpy of evaporation of water =
Moles of water needed to evaporate to remove :
-
Convert moles of water to mass
Molar mass of water:
Therefore, mass of water evaporated:
-
Final Answer
The extra water he must perspire is:
