H = 5.6 106 J / mol
(i) Human being required ..................... kJ of energy per day.
(ii) Amount of sucrose required per day and volume of CO2evolved during the process.
Sol. (i)18.4
2500kJ = 598 kJ
(ii) Mole of sucrose required = 36 10106.5
598
= 0.106
wt. of sucrose required = 0.101 342 = 36.52 gm
