Question

At the end of 2012, global population was about 7.0 billion
people. What mass of glucose in kg would be needed to
provide 1500 Cal/person/day of nourishment to the global
population for one year? Assume that glucose is metabolized
entirely to CO2(g) and H2O(l) according to the following
thermochemical equation:
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g)----->6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(l)
ΔH° = -2803 kJ
