Task 6: Oh dear!

In one weak second, you devour a whole 6-pack of Snickers. About how many hours could you have operated an LED lamp with the energy you consumed at that moment?

 

100g of snickers contain 2014 kJ

1 bar of snickers is about 50g

the energy consumption of an average LED lamp is about 60 Wh per hour.

 

(1 Wh = 3600 Ws (Wattsekunde) = 3600 Joule = 3,6 Kilojoule (kJ).
