Evaporation of sweat is an important mechanism for temperature control in some warm-blooded animals. (a) What mass of water must evaporate from the skin of a 75.0-kg man to cool his body 1.00oC? (b) What volume of water must the man drink to replenish the evaporated water? Compare to the volume of a soft-drink can (355cm3).Use: latent heat of vaporization of water at body temp = 2.42 x 106 J/kg-K Specific heat of a typical human body = 3480 J/kg-K
