Answer

$-2812 \ kJ/mol$

Work Step by Step

From the definition of heat capacity: $(575\ g\times 4.184\ J/g.K+650\ J/g)\times (25.23-21.70)\ K=10.8\ kJ$ Since it's an exothermic process, the sign is negative. Number of moles of glucose: $0.692\ g\div 180.16\ g/mol=0.00384\ mol$ Hence: $\Delta U=-10.8\ kJ/0.00384\ mol=-2812 \ kJ/mol$
