Therefore, to calculate the amount of CO2 produced from a gallon of gasoline, the weight of the carbon in the gasoline is multiplied by 44/12 or 3.7. Since gasoline is about 87% carbon and 13% hydrogen by weight, the carbon in a gallon of gasoline weighs 5.5 pounds (6.3 lbs. x .87). We can then multiply the weight of the carbon (5.5 pounds) by 3.7, which equals 20 pounds of CO2!
What is the caloric balance equation? (5 points) The Caloric Balance Equation is the balance of the amount of calories that are consumed through food and the amount of calories used through daily activities and exercise. 4. Do you think you are in caloric balance?
Energy is another word for calories.. Your energy balance is the balance of calories consumed through eating and drinking compared to calories burned through physical activity.What you eat and drink is ENERGY IN. What you burn through physical activity is ENERGY OUT.You burn a certain number of calories just by breathing air and digesting food. You also burn a certain number of calories (ENERGY OUT) through your daily routine.he same amount of ENERGY IN (calories consumed) and ENERGY OUT (calories burned) over time = weight stays the same. More IN than OUT over time = weight gain More OUT than IN over time = weight loss. Your ENERGY IN and OUT don't have to balance every day.
