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 317 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 566 g of sweat over the course of one hour, calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweat.

extraterrestrial: ?
human scientist: ?

Answer 1

To calculate the heat lost by each body from the vaporization of sweat, we can use the formula:

Heat lost = mass of sweat lost x heat of vaporization

For the extraterrestrial life form:

Heat lost = 566 g x 317 cal/g = 179,722 cal

For the human scientist:

Heat lost = 566 g x 580 cal/g = 328,280 cal

Therefore, the heat lost by the extraterrestrial life form from the vaporization of sweat is 179,722 calories, and the heat lost by the human scientist from the vaporization of sweat is 328,280 calories.
