What is a catalyst, and what effect does it have on the activation energy of a reaction?

Using the energy values for foods (see TABLE3.7), determine each of the following (round off the answer for each food type to the tens place):d. the grams of fat in one avocado that has 405 kcal, 13 g of carbohydrate, and 5 g of protein

Using the energy values for foods (see TABLE3.7), determine each of the following (round off the answer for each food type to the tens place):a. the total kilojoules in two tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter that contains 6 g of carbohydrate, 16 g of fat, and 7g of protein

For dinner, Charles had one cup of clam chowder, which contains 16g of carbohydrate, 12g of fat, and 9 g of protein. How much energy, in kilocalories and kilojoules, is in the clam chowder? (Round off the answer for each food type to the tensplace.)

A patient receives 3.2 L of intravenous (IV) glucose solution. If 100. mL of the solution contains 5.0 g of glucose (carbohydrate), how many kilocalories did the patient obtain from the glucose solution?

If a catalyst changes the activation energy of a forward reaction from 28.0 kcal/mol to 23.0 kcal/mol, what effect does it have on the reverse reaction?

Using energy values from TABLE3.8, determine each of the following:d. If expending 3500 kcal is equal to a loss of 1.0 lb, how many days will it take Charles to lose 5.0 lb?

Using energy values from TABLE3.8, determine each of the following:c. If Charles consumes 1800 kcal per day, he will maintain his weight. Would he lose weight on his new diet?

b. For the amount of exercise that Charles did for one week in part a, if expending 3500 kcal is equal to a loss of 1.0lb, how many pounds did he lose?
