for my chem2 lab class we preformed a nut combustion experiment to get the calorie count in different kinds of nuts. for my post lab questions i was asked to use my results to answer this question and i have no idea how to set it up:

based on your energy determined of the first nut that you burned, determine how many nuts an average man of 68kg would have to eat in order to swim 30mins. (energy burned by an average man of 50kg per hour of swimming is 553 Cal/kg)

for my results showed that my first nut showed for the trial 2.55Cal/g
