Question
Thank you so so much!! :)
Required information:
In an emergency, it is sometimes the practice of medical professionals to immerse a patient who suffers from heat stroke
in an ice bath, a mixture of ice and water in equilibrium at O°C, in order to reduce her body temperature. The average
specific heat of human tissue at 20.0°C is 3.50 x 103 J/kg-K. The latent heat of fusion for water is 333.7 * 103 J/kg.
a) If a(n) 84.5-kg patient whose body temperature is 41.7°C must have her temperature reduced to the normal range (37.0°C), how much heat must be removed?
b) A(n) 84.5-kg patient whose body temperature is 41.7°C was reduced to 37.0°C. If she is placed in a bath containing 7.80 kg of ice, what
is the heat energy required to melt 7.80 kg of ice?
c) A(n) 84.5-kg patient whose body temperature is 41.7°C was reduced to 37.0°C. If she is placed in a bath containing 7.80 kg of ice, what
will be the ice remaining in the bath when her body temperature is 37.0°C?

Required info: A 75.0-g cube of ice at -10.0°C is placed in 0.590 kg of water at 50.0°C in an insulating container so that no heat is lost to the environment. Specific heat capacity (15.0°C) of water is 4.186 kJ/(kg-K) and that of ice (0°C) is 2.10 kJ/(kg:K) and heat of fusion of water is 333.7 kJ/kg.

Assuming 12.5% of the energy is delivered to the muscle tissue and that the excess energy is removed from the body by sweating, determine the volume of bodily fluid (assume it is water) lost per hour. (At 37.0°C the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2.41 ✕ 106 J/kg.) cm3arrow_forwardQuestion 7 Please write neatlyarrow_forward
