Chapter 25, Problem 7CT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that the loss of calories after sweat evaporation helps in weight loss.

He reasons that a liter (about a quart) of water weighs 1000 g, whichis equivalent to 580,000 cal, or 580 kcal, of heat when lost as sweat.Therefore, instead of reducing his diet by 580 kcal/day, he believesthat losing a liter of sweat every day in the sauna will cause him tolose about a pound of fat a week. Will this approach work? Explain.
In which of the following processes is the amount of heat involved the highest?
A. completely freezing one kilogram of water
B. completely evaporating one kilogram of ice
C. completely evaporating one kilogram of water
D. completely melting one kilogram of ice
Heat exchange with the environment depends on the surface area-to-volume ratio of the body. Assuming that the body shape of an animal is at least somewhat spherical, a considerable decrease in body size would _______ the surface area-to-volume ratio, and the ability to exchange heat with the environment would _______.
A.
increase; increase
B.
increase; stay about the same
