Step 1
We know that 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ. So, \( 2.00 \times 10^{3} \) kcal = \( 2.00 \times 10^{3} \times 4.184 \) kJ = \( 8.37 \times 10^{3} \) kJ. Show more…

The average adult human burns 2.00 x 10^3 kcal per day in energy. What is this rate in kJ per hour?

An adult eats food whose nutritional energy totals approximately $2.2 \times 10^{3}$ Cal per day. The adult burns $2.0 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{Cal}$ per day. How much excess nutritional energy, in kilojoules, does the adult consume per day? If 1 lb of fat is stored by the body for each $14.6 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{kJ}$ of excess nutritional energy consumed, how long will it take this person to gain $1 \mathrm{lb} ?$
