- 2.4 g of water was evaporated from the surface of skin. How much heat, in the unit of kJ, was transferred from the body to the water to evaporate the water completely? The temperature of the skin is 33.5°C, and the latent heat of vaporization of water at 33.5°C is 43.6 kJ/mol. Molar mass of water is 18 g/molarrow_forwardA chunk of metal with a mass of 85.0 grams and a specific heat of 759 joules per kilogram·kelvin is heated to 78.9 degrees Celsius and placed in 122 milliliters of water (c = 4186 J/kg·K) at 18.6 degrees Celsius. What is the final temperature of the metal and water? Hint: The heat lost by the metal is gained by the water, so the sum of the heats is zero.arrow_forwardA biology experiment requires the preparation of a water bath at 37.0°C (body temperature). The temperature of the cold tap water is 22.0°C, and the temperature of the hot tap water is 55.0°C. If a student starts with 90.0 g cold water, what mass of hot water must be added to reach 37.0°C?arrow_forward
