Question

15) The average human is ~60% water, which translates to ~44.3 kg of water. If you eat a Reece's peanut butter cup (105 Calories or 4.39 x 105J), how many degrees Celsius (°C) should the 44.3kg of water rise. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g.°C. A) 2.37 x 103°C B) 5.66 x 104°C C) 41.5°C D) 2.37°C E) 0.566°C 4.39x1055 0.043 y 4.18488.0​

Answer 1

Answer: D) 2.37°C

Explanation:

$4.39x10^5J(\frac{g°C}{4.184J} )(\frac{kg}{1000g})(\frac{1}{44.3kg} )$ $=2.37°C$
