Question
A person gave off $180 .$ kcal of heat to evaporate water from her 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
The heat required to convert water into steam is given by the formula: \[ Q = m \cdot L \] where \( Q \) is the heat given off, \( m \) is the mass of the water, and \( L \) is the latent heat of vaporization. Show more…
