Answer
(a) $BMR = 2160~kcal/day$
(b) Jermaine would lose 232 grams of fat.
Work Step by Step
(a) We can find Jermaine's net intake of oxygen each day:
$(0.015~mol/min)(24)(60~min) = 21.6 ~mol$
We can find his BMR:
$BMR = \frac{21.6~mol/day}{0.010~mol/kcal} = 2160~kcal/day$
(b) We can find the amount of fat that is consumed:
$\frac{2160~kcal/day}{9.3~kcal/gram} = 232~grams$
Jermaine would lose 232 grams of fat.
