- (Q3) A person went for a camp with his friends, and they decided to cook their lunch outdoors. Not to allow his friends to open the put before him, he placed a 0.89151141 kg rock on the top of an opening through the lid of the well-sealed pot. The opening has a diameter of 5.5 mm. After boiling started, he suddenly opened the pot. If the atmospheric pressure is 78 kPa and the gravitational acceleration is 9.807 m/s, what is the temperature of the pot at the opening moment? If a mass of 3.8 grams at that temperature reaches his skin and condenses on it and cools down to the skin temperature of 30°C, how much the heat transfer to the skin in kJ?
