Question
1. Evaporation of sweat is an important mechanism for temperature control in some
warm-blooded animals.
a. 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°C) is 2.42 X 10° J/kg·K. The specific heat of a typical human body is
3480 J/kg K
b. (b) What volume of water must the man drink to replenish the evaporated
water? Compare to the volume of a soft-drink can (355 cm).
