A certain diet doctor encourages people to diet by drinking ice water. His theory is that the body must burn off enough fat to raise the temperature of the water from 0.00°Cto the body temperature of37.0°C. How many liters of ice water would have to be consumed to burn off(about 1 lb) of fat, assuming that burning this much fat requires3500calbe transferred to the ice water? Why is it not advisable to follow this diet? (Oneliter=103cm3. The density of water is1.00 g/³¦³¾3.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The amount of water to be consumed to burn the fat of amount 454 g is94.6 l¾±³Ù±ð°ù

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Initial temperature,Ti=0.0°C
  2. Final body temperature,Tf=37.0°C
  3. Fat to be consumed,m=454 g´Ç°ù0.454 k²µ
  4. Heat required to transfer the given fat,Q=3500 c²¹±ô´Ç°ù¾±±ð´Ç°ù35×105cal
  5. The density of water,ÒÏ=1  g/³¦³¾3
  6. Specific heat of water,c=1 â¶Ä‰c²¹±ô/²µ0C

Understanding the concept of specific heat

A substance's specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise its temperature by one degree Celsius. According to the nutritionist, a Calorie of burn is equivalent to 1000cal energy burned. Hence, using this value to get the exact energy required to be burnt and substituting it in the equation of heat transferred or produced will give the amount of water to be absorbed.

Formula:

The heat energy transferred by a body,Q=³¾³¦Î”°Õ …(¾±)

Where, m= mass

c= specific heat capacity

Δ°Õ= change in temperature

Q= required heat energy

The volume of a body in terms of density, V=mÒÏ

Calculation of the amount of water consumed

Using the formula of equation (i), the mass of the water to be consumed is given as:

m=QcΔ°Õ=35×105 c²¹±ô1 c²¹±ô/g0C×(37−0)°Cg=94.6×103g

Again, the density of the water is given as:

ÒÏ=1  g/³¦³¾3=1 g1/1000  l¾±³Ù±ð°ù(∵1liter=1000cm3)=1000g/liter

So, the required amount or the volume of the water to be consumed is given by equation (ii) as:

V=94.6×103g1000 g/liter=94.6 l¾±³Ù±ð°ù

Hence, the person needs to consume94.6 l¾±³Ù±ð°ù of water.
