Problem

The enthalpy change involved in the oxidation of glucose is −2880-2880 kJ mol−1mol^{-1}. Twenty five percent of this energy is available for muscular work. If 100100 kJ of muscular work is needed to walk one kilometer, what is the maximum distance that a person will be able to walk after eating 120 g of glucose?
