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 215 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 481 g of sweat over the course of one hour, calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweat.
ex: 0.45cal
h.s: 2.09cal
To calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweat, we need to use the formula:
Heat lost = Mass of sweat lost * Heat of vaporization
First, let's determine the heat lost by the extraterrestrial life form:
Mass of sweat lost by the extraterrestrial life form = 481 g (given)
Heat of vaporization of the extraterrestrial life form's sweat = 215 cal/g (given)
Heat lost by the extraterrestrial life form = Mass of sweat lost * Heat of vaporization
= 481 g * 215 cal/g
Now, let's calculate the heat lost by the scientist:
Mass of sweat lost by the scientist = 481 g (given)
Heat of vaporization of the scientist's sweat = 580 cal/g (given)
Heat lost by the scientist = Mass of sweat lost * Heat of vaporization
= 481 g * 580 cal/g
Now, we can calculate the actual values:
Heat lost by the extraterrestrial life form = 481 g * 215 cal/g
= 103,315 cal
Heat lost by the scientist = 481 g * 580 cal/g
= 279,880 cal
Therefore, the extraterrestrial life form lost 103,315 calories of heat from the vaporization of its sweat, while the scientist lost 279,880 calories of heat from the vaporization of their sweat.
