Question:
You drink 350 mL of diet soda that is at a temperature of 5°C.
(a) How much energy will your body expend to raise the temperature of this liquid to body temperature (37°C)? Assume that the density and specific heat capacity of diet soda are the same as for water.
(b) Compare the value in part of (a) with the caloric content of the beverage. (The label says that it has a caloric content of 1 Calorie.) What is the net energy change in your body resulting from drinking this beverage? (1 Calorie = 1000 kcal = 4184 J.)
(c) Carry out a comparison similar to that in part (b) for a nondiet beverage whose label indicates a caloric content of 240 Calories.
