The human body bums glucose (CH20) for energy according to this chemical reaction: CH,0 +60, -600,+6H,0 The products of the reaction are carbon dioxide (CO,) and water (H20) Interestingly, all of the carbon dioxide and much of the water exits the body through the lungs on every breath, the average person exhales 500 ml of air, which is typically enriched to 4% CO, and 5% water vapor by volume. In short, when a person lose weight by dieting, the weight that is lost actually departs his body as a gas, every time he exhales. Each kilogram of body fat lost requires exhaling about 3.0 kg of carbon dioxide. Calculate how many breaths it takes an average person to exhale" 2.00 kg of fat. Round your answer to the nearest thousand. You'll need to know that the density of Co, is 2.0 kg/m'. X
