Calculate the mass of H2OH2O produced by metabolism of 2.4 kgkg of fat, assuming the fat consists entirely of tristearin (C57H110O6C57H110O6), a typical animal fat, and assuming that during metabolism, tristearin reacts with O2O2 to form only CO2CO2 and H2OH2O.

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.

Explanation:

Mass of fat = 2.4 kg = 2.4 × 1000 g = 2400 g

1 kg = 1000 g

Molar mass of fat = M

M = 57 × 12 g/mol + 110 × 1 g/mol+ 6 × 16 g/mol = 890 g/mol[/tex]

Moles of fat =

According to reaction , 2 moles of fat gives 110 moles of water. Then 2.6966 moles of fat will give  ;

of water

Mass of 148.31 moles of water ;

148.31 mol × 18 g/mol = 2,669.58 g

2,669.58 grams of water will be produced by metabolism of 2.4 kilogram of fat.
