Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which…

Answer to Problem 27Q

The white cloud is seen due to the presence of moisture present in the air in the lungs.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The appearance of the exhaled air is white due to the condensation of the water.

The air exhaled by the lungs out of the body is in form of water vapors in a higher amount. And the air inside the body in the lungs is warm. And the pressure of the water vapor in the lungs is quite high without soaking the air in the lungs hence condensation is not possible in that case. But the case of the winter is quite different. Because in winter the condensation of water is very small. So, the warm, water-laden exhaled cool air, the partial pressure of the water vapor is little high the saturated vapor pressure in the cool air. And some of the water will get moisture. The white cloud is seen due to the moister or the condensed water vapor.

Conclusion:

The white cloud is seen due to the presence of moisture present in the air in the lungs.
