comparatively speaking, we know that fats give us more energy than sugars. If I have 1 mole of palmitic acid (molar mass:256.4g/mol), and fats and oils can give me 9 calories (kilocalories) per gram, how many kiloJoules of energy can I get from that mole of palmitic acid? (Important info:1 calorie=4.184Kj)
