The metabolism of glucose, C 6 H 12 O 6 , yields CO 2 (g) and H

Question:

The metabolism of glucose, C6H12O6, yields CO2(g) and H2O(l) as products. Heat released in the process is converted to useful work with about 70% efficiency. Calculate the mass of glucose metabolized by a 58.0 kg person in climbing a mountain with an elevation gain of 1450 m. Assume that the work performed in the climb is about four times that required to simply lift 58.0 kg by 1450 m. (¢fH° C6H12O61s2 is -1273.3 kJ>mol.2
