At the end of 2012, global population was about 7.0 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 CO2(g) and H2O(l) according to the following thermochemical equation:

C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)→6CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l) ΔH° = -2803 kJ
