The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends us to limit "free sugar" intake to no more
than 5 % of the total daily Calories consumed. Sugars like sucrose are considered "free
sugars" and provide about 4 Calories per gram. If an individual consumes 2000 Calories in a
day, what is the maximum amount of sugar they are advised to take in? How does this amount
compare to the added sugars found in popular soft drinks?
Ethanol, C₂H60, is most often blended with gasoline - usually as a 10 percent mix - to create a fuel called gasohol.
Ethanol is a renewable resource and ethanol-blended fuels, like gasohol, appear to burn more efficiently in combustion
engines. The combustion of one mole of ethanol releases 326.7 kcal of energy.
The combustion of one mole of 2-methylheptane,
C8H18, releases
1.306 × 10³ kcal of energy. How much energy is released during the complete combustion of 405 grams of 2-
methylheptane?
kcal
Assuming the same efficiency, would 405 grams of ethanol provide more, less, or the same amount of energy as 405
grams of 2-methylheptane?
more

- A discharge pipe releases small amounts of various alcohols from an industrial fermentation process into a lake. Local scientists would like to estimate the rate at which the alcohols are degrading in the lake. One of them, butanol (C4H9OH), is released to the lake at a rate of 20 kg/day. Butanol is measured in the lake water on several occasions at a concentration of 10-4 kg/m3; no butanol is detected in the inflowing stream. Average streamflow at the outlet of the lake is measured to be 3 x 104 m3/day. What is the magnitude of internal sinks of butanol?
