Question
Chapter 10, Problem 22Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The role of humidity in regulating our body temperature has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Humidity is a measure of amount of water vapor present in the atmosphere. It is the moisture content of the atmosphere. If the atmosphere has high humidity, it means more water vapor is present and less humidity means less water vapor is present in the atmosphere. If humidity is found less in atmosphere it is regulated by absorbing moisture from the surroundings.

- Heliox is a helium-oxygen mixture that may be used in scuba tanks for divers working at great depths. It is also used medically as a breathing treatment. A 6.25 L tank holds helium gas at a pressure of 1.260 x 10' psi. A second 6.25 L tank holds oxygen at a pressure of 335.0 psi. The two gases are mixed in a 6.25 L tank. If the temperature remains the same throughout the process, what is the pressure of the gas mixture in the tank?

- Evaporation of sweat requires energy and thus take excess heat away from the body. Some of the water that you drink may eventually be converted into sweat and evaporate. If you drink a 20-ounce bottle of water that had been in the refrigerator at 3.8 C, how much heat is needed to convert all of that water into sweat and then to vapor?
