Simply by living, an 87.5 kg human being will consume approximately 20.0 mol of O 2 per day. To provide energy for the human, the O 2 is reduced to H 2 O duing food oxidation by the reaction O 2 + 4 H + + 4 e − − ⇀ ↽ − 2 H 2 O Determine the current generated by the human per day. In this case, the current is defined as the flow of electrons ( e − ) to O 2 from the food the human consumes.
