Just about everyone at one time or another has been burned by hot water or steam. This problem compares the heat input to your s

kin from steam as opposed to hot water at the same temperature.
Assume 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=4190J/(kg?K) for both liquid water and steam.

How much heat H1 is transferred to the skin by 25.0 g of steam onto the skin? The latent heat of vaporization for steam is L=2.256

Answer:

63.3 KJ

Explanation:

Quantity of heat lost to the skin = mLw + mcΔT

where is mass in kg, Lw is latent heat of vaporization in KJ/kg ( 2.256 × 10^6 KJ/Kg), c is specific heat capacity of water (4190 J/(Kg.K) and ΔT is the change in temperature

m = 25g = 25 /1000 = 0.025 kg

quantity of heat loss = (0.025 × 2.256 × 10^6) +  ( 0.025 × 4190 × (100 -34 )

Quantity of heat loss to the skin = (5.64 × 10^4) + 5530.8 = 56400 + 6913.5 = 63313.5 = 63.3 KJ

According to the Declaration, when do people have a right to revolution?
babunello [35]
Locke said that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty, and private property; under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of citizens.

Sati [7]

Answer:

2.11 seconds

Explanation:

We use the kinematic equation for the velocity in a constantly accelerated motion under the acceleration of gravity (g):

v_f=v_i-g*t\\-5.2 = 15.5 - 9.8\,t\\9.8 \,t= 15.5 + 5.2\\t = 20.7/9.8\\t = 2.11 \,\,sec
