Question

How much heat Q1 is transferred by 25.0 g of water onto the skin? To compare this to the result in the previous part, continue to assume that the skin temperature does not change.

Answer 1

The heat transferred from water to skin is 6913.5 J.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Weight of water = 25.0 g

Suppose that water and steam, initially at 100°C, are cooled down to skin temperature, 34°C, when they come in contact with your skin. Assume that the steam condenses extremely fast. We will further assume a constant specific heat capacity c=4190 J/(kg°K) for both liquid water and steam.

We need to calculate the heat transferred from water to skin

Using formula for stream

`Q=mc\Delta T`

Put the value into the formula

`Q=25*10^(-3)*4190*(373-307)`

`Q=6913.5\ J`

Hence, The heat transferred from water to skin is 6913.5 J.
