Chapter 14: Q53GP (page 390)

A bicyclist consumes 9.0 L of water over the span of 3.5 hours during a race. Making the approximation that 80% of the cyclist鈥檚 energy goes into evaporating this water (at 20掳C) as sweat, how much energy in kcal did the rider use during the ride? (Hint: See page 399.)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The rider uses \(6.6 \times {10^3}\;{\rm{kcal}}\) energy during the ride.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Water consumed by the cyclist is\(V = 90\;{\rm{L}}\).

Let the rider use Q energy during the ride.

Assume that the total consumed water gets vaporized.

02

Concepts

The mass of 1 L water is 1 kg.

The heat absorbed by the water to evaporate is equal to the 80% energy of the cyclist.

03

Calculation of part (a)

The mass of 9.0 L water is \(m = 9\;{\rm{kg}}\).

The latent heat of vaporization is \(L = 585\;{\rm{kcal/kg}}\).

\(\begin{aligned}{c}\frac{{80}}{{100}}Q = mL\\Q = \frac{{100}}{{80}}mL\\Q = \frac{{100}}{{80}} \times \left( {9\;{\rm{kg}}} \right) \times \left( {585\;{\rm{kcal/kg}}} \right)\\Q = 6.6 \times {10^3}\;{\rm{kcal}}\end{aligned}\)

Hence, the rider uses \(6.6 \times {10^3}\;{\rm{kcal}}\) energy during the ride.

(II) A 28-g ice cube at its melting point is dropped into an insulated container of liquid nitrogen. How much nitrogen evaporates if it is at its boiling point of 77 K and has a latent heat of vaporization of 200 kJ/kg? Assume for simplicity that the specific heat of ice is a constant and is equal to its value near its melting point.

(II)Determine the energy content of 100 g of Karen鈥檚 fudge cookies from the following measurements. A 10-g sample of a cookie is allowed to dry before putting it in a bomb calorimeter (page 396). The aluminum bomb has a mass of 0.615 kg and is placed in 2.00 kg of water contained in an aluminum calorimeter cup of mass 0.524 kg. The initial temperature of the system is 15.0掳C, and its temperature after ignition is 36.0掳C.

(II)A 2.3-kg lead ball is placed in a 2.5-L insulated pail of water initially at 20.0掳C. If the final temperature of the water鈥搇ead combination is 32.0掳C, what was the initial temperature of the lead ball?

An iron meteorite melts when it enters the Earth鈥檚 atmosphere. If its initial temperature was\( - 105^\circ {\rm{C}}\)outside of Earth鈥檚 atmosphere, calculate the minimum velocity the meteorite must have had before it entered Earth鈥檚 atmosphere.

To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world鈥檚 oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean water, 1 km on each side, is cooled by 1 K. (Approximate the ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)
