- A sealed container holding 0.492 kg of liquid nitrogen at its boiling point of 77.3 K is placed in a large room at 23.2°C. Energy is transferred from the room to the nitrogen as the liquid nitrogen boils into a gas and then warms to the room's temperature. Liquid nitrogen has a latent heat of vaporization of 2.01 ✕ 105 J/kg. The specific heat of N2 gas at constant pressure is cN2 = 1.04 ✕ 103 J/kg.

Typically, 20% of this energy goes into bodily functions, such as cell repair, pumping blood, and other uses of mechanical energy, while the rest goes to heat. Most people get rid of all this excess heat by transferring it (by conduction and the flow of blood) to the surface of the body, where it is radiated away. The normal internal temperature of the body (where the metabolism takes place) is 37C, and the skin is typically 7 C cooler. By how much does the person’s entropy change per second due to this heat transfer?arrow_forward
