Question
A person gave off 180 kcal of heat in the evaporation of water from the skin in a workout session. How much water did the person lose, assuming that the heat given off was used only to evaporate the water?
Step 1
We know that 1 kilocalorie is equal to 1000 calories. So, we multiply 180 kilocalories by 1000 to get the heat in calories: \[180 \, \text{kcal} \times 10^3 = 180 \times 10^3 \, \text{cal}\] Show more…
