3. The food Calorie is actually a kilocalorie, that is, 1000 cal. For a 70-kg male between the ages of 18 and 30 the basal
metabolic rate is 1750 Calories per day. Express this in kJ/d.

Calculate AH for the reaction
4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (g),
from the following data:
N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 NO (g)
AH = -180.5 kJ
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) → 2 NH3 (g)
AH = -91.80 kJ
2 H2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2 H2O (g)
AH = -483.6 kJ
Select one:
O - 1628 kJ
O -1995 kJ
O 1268 kJ
O 755.9 kJ

- Public water systems often add fluoride to drinking water because, in the proper amounts, fluoride improves dental health and prevents cavities. Too much fluoride, however, can cause fluorosis, which stains teeth. In 2015, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) revised its 1962 recommenda- tions for the amount of fluoride in public water systems. The 1962 recommendations depended on the average temperature for the region in question as shown here. because U.S. citizens are now getting fluoride from other sources, including toothpaste and mouthwash. The rec- ommended level balances the need for fluoride to im- prove dental health with the risk of developing fluorosis from too much fluoride. Examine the data in the table and answer the following questions: (a) Determine the percent change in optimum recom- mended fluoride concentration for a water system with annual average maximum daily temperatures of 17.8–21.4 °C.
