What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 70.0 kg man to cool his body 1.00 ∘C? The heat of vaporization of water at body temperature (37.0 ∘C) is 2.42×106J/(kg⋅K). The specific heat of a typical human body is 3480 J/(kg⋅K) . What volume of water must the man drink to replenish the evaporated water?

Respuesta :

Answer:

100 cc

Explanation:

Heat released in cooling human body by t degree

= mass of the body x specific heat of the body x t

Substituting the data given

Heat released by the body

= 70 x 3480 x 1

= 243600 J

Mass of water to be evaporated

= 243600 / latent heat of vaporization of water

= 243600 / 2420000

= .1 kg

= 100 g

volume of water

= mass / density

= 100 / 1

100 cc

1 / 10 litres.
