Question
Imagine that a hypothetical life form is discovered on our moon and transported to Earth. On a hot day, this life form begins to sweat, and it is determined that the heat of vaporization of its sweat is 365 cal/g. The scientist observing the extraterrestrial life form also begins to sweat. The heat of vaporization of the scientist's sweat is 580 cal/g at the skin's surface. If both the extraterrestrial life form and the scientist lose 657 g of sweat over the course of one hour, calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweat.Explanation / Answer
heat=mass x heat of vaporize heat ext.= 657 x 365 heat scientist = 657 x 580 ext =239805 scientist = 381060
