Energy is conventionally measured in calories as well as in joules. one calorie in nutrition is one kilocalorie, defined as 1 kcal = 4 186 j. metabolizing 1 g of fat can release 9.00 kcal. a student decides to try to lose weight by exercising. he plans to run up and down the stairs in a football stadium as fast as he can and as many times as necessary. to evaluate the program, suppose he runs up a flight of 95 steps, each 0.150 m high, in 64.5 s. for simplicity, ignore the energy he uses in coming down (which is small). assume that a typical efficiency for human muscles is 20.0%. therefore when your body converts 100 j from metabolizing fat, 20 j goes into doing mechanical work (here, climbing stairs). the remainder goes into extra internal energy. assume that the student's mass is 65.0 kg.

1. how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 40.0 g of argon from 25c to 40c? the specific heat capacity of argon is 0.520 j/(g·k) 2a. 23.0 ml of 0.100 m hcl (standard) are added from a buret to neutralize 50.0 ml of an unknown basic solution. 2b. if the oh- produced in the previous reaction came from ca(oh)2, then what is the molarity of the ca(oh)2? 3.calculate the new freezing-point of a solution when 60.5 grams of cacl2 solute is dissolved in 0.612 kg of water. 4. what is the maximum number of moles of alcl3 that can be produced from 5.0 mol al and 6.0 mol cl2? 5. a sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 150 ml when its pressure is 0.923 atm. if the pressure is increased to 0.987 atm and the temperature remains constant, what will the new volume be? 6. nitrogen gas in a closed container at a temperature of 100.0 oc and 3.0 atm is heated to 300 oc. what is the pressure of the gas at the higher temperature?
