Chapter 19, Problem 17EAP

One way you keep from overheating is by perspiring. BIO Evaporation—a phase change—requires heat, and the heat energy is removed from your body. Evaporation is much like boiling, 24 × 10 5 J / k g because at lower temperatures more energy is required to break the molecular bonds. Very strenuous activity can cause an adult human to produce 30 g of perspiration per minute. If all the perspiration evaporates, rather than dripping off, at what rate (in J/s) is it possible to exhaust heat by perspiring?

It’s possible to boil water by adding hot rocks to it, a technique that has been used in many societies over time. If you heat a rock in the fire, you can easily get it to a temperature of 500°C. If you use granite or other similar stones, the specific heat is about 800 J/kg ⋅ K. If 5.0 kg of water at 10°C is in a leak-proof vessel, what minimum number of 1.0 kg stones must be added to bring the water to a boil?
You are working in your kitchen preparing lunch for your family. You have decided to make egg salad sandwiches and are boiling six eggs, each of mass 55.5 g, in 0.750 L of water at 100°C. You wish to take all the eggs out of the boiling water and immediately place them in 23.0°C water to coolthem down to a comfortable temperature to hold them and peel them. You decide that you wish the mixture of the water and the eggs to reach an equilibrium temperature of 40.0°C. Explaining this to a family member, she challenges you to determine exactly how much water at 23.0°C you needto achieve your desired equilibrium temperature. Take the average specific heat of an egg over the expected temperature range to be 3.27 × 103 J/kg ? °C.
While hanging out in Lab, you decide to conduct another calorimetry experiment, but this time, you want to do it on a bit larger scale. You place 3.8 kg of water in a large aluminum can that has a mass of 15 kg. You heat the water and can up to an initial temperature of 80◦ C, and then slowly add 400 g of ice that has an initial temperature of −10◦ C. You stir the ice and water until all of the ice melts, and the system comes to an equilibrium temperature of 32◦ C. You feel good about things until you realize that you did not cover the aluminum can and that some heat was lost to the environment during the experiment. Use the information provided to calculate the amount of heat that was lost to the environment.
