Question

Carbohydrates serve as a vital source of chemical energy to the human body. Carbohydrates are broken down into smaller units of glucose, among other sugars, providing energy to various muscles and organs, including the brain. On average, for every 10.0 g of carbohydrates consumed, the body will store 170 kJ of energy.
Convert this energy value to kilocalories (kcal).

Answer 1

Answer:

$711.28$ Kilo calories

Explanation:

Kilo calories is a higher unit of energy measurement as compared to the kilo joules.

In one kilo calorie there are $4.184$ times kilo joules.

Mathematically, it can be written as

$1$ KCal $= 4.184$ Kilo joules

$1$ Kilo joules is equal to

$\frac{1}{4.184}$ kilo calories

Total energy consumed by body is equal to $170$ Kilo joules

Thus energy consumed in kilo calories is equal to

$4.184 * 170\\\\= 711.28$
