SHC Worksheet

1) Evaporating 0.5kg of sweat requires 2,250J of energy and would raise the body temperature of a person by 0.375°C if not removed. 2) Condensing 100g of water vapor at 100°C releases 2,257J of energy. 3) It takes 334J of energy to melt 100g of ice at 0°C.

1. A person sweats 0.5kg of water.

How much energy is required to evaporate this


amount of sweat?
Specific latent heat of vaporization of sweat equals that of water. (3)

(b) If this amount of energy were not removed from the body, by how much
would the body temperature of a person of mass 60 kg rise? (3)
Average specific heat capacity of human body = 3500 J kg–1 C–1

(Total 6)
2. How much energy is released when 100 g of water condenses from vapor at
100°C? (3)

3. How much energy will it take to melt 100 g of ice at 0℃? (3)

4. Block X of mass 2 kg is heated by a 1-kW heater. The figure below shows the
variation of its temperature T with time t.
