Answer questions 6 (compulsory) and either 7 or 8 in the spaces provided after question 8
6. Some students used a model to demonstrate the effect of sweating on human body temperature.
� Two boiling tubes A and B were filled with hot water. The temperature of water in the tubes was
taken at the start of the experiment and then at 5 minutes interval.
The surface of tube A was continuo1;1sly wiped with a piece of cotton wool soaked in methyl<;1ted
spirit. The results obtained·are shown in the table below.
