To study the possible amount of energy generated by a person, the person can be roughly viewed as a constant pressure calorimeter using table sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11) as the energy generator. The reaction of table sugar in a calorimeter is given by: C12H22O11(s) + 12O2(g) ----------> 12CO2(g) + 11H2O(g)   a. What is the heat released by consuming one mole of sugar (C12H22O11) in this way? b. Calculate the enthalpy of combustion per mole of sugar utilization. c. Does the result of your calculation make sense?
