A 300 kg black bear hibernates in the winter. During hibernation the bear's body temperature drops from 37 to 31°C. How many grams of glucose must the bear metabolize in order to restore its body temperature to normal? Assume the bear's body is mostly water with a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/(g · °C) and that all the energy from the combustion of glucose is used to raise the bear's body temperature. (Glucose: $\Delta$H(combustion) = -2830 kJ/mol, molar mass = 180 g/mol)

The Answer of A 300 kg black bear hibernates in the winter. During hibernation the bear's body temperature drops from 37 to 31°C. How many grams of glucose must the bear metabolize in order to restore its body temperature to normal? Assume the bear's body is mostly water with a specific heat capacity of 4.2 J/(g · °C) and that all the energy from the combustion of glucose is used to raise the bear's body temperature. (Glucose: $\Delta$H(combustion) = -2830 kJ/mol, molar mass = 180 g/mol)

A 300 Kg Black Bear Hibernates in the Winter Δ\DeltaΔ H(combustion) = -2830 KJ/mol, Molar Mass = 180 G/mol) A)

A 300 Kg Black Bear Hibernates in the Winter $\Delta$ H(combustion) = -2830 KJ/mol, Molar Mass = 180 G/mol)
A)
