Answer

(a) $-492KJ$ (b) $117Cal$

Work Step by Step

(a) We can find the required internal energy as follows: $\Delta U=Q-W$ $\implies \Delta U=-mL-W$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\Delta U=-(0.110)(2.26\times 10^6)-2.43\times 10^5$ $\Delta U=-492KJ$ (b) We can find the number of nutritional calories as $\Delta U=(492KJ)(0.239Kcal/KJ)=117Cal$
