Solved: (a) A person drinks four glasses of cold water
Chapter 6, Problem 116P(choose chapter or problem)
(a) A person drinks four glasses of cold water \(\left(3.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)\) every day. The volume of each glass is \(2.5 \times 10^{2}\ m L\). How much heat (in kJ) does the body have to supply to raise the temperature of the water to \(37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the body temperature? (b) How much heat would your body lose if you were to ingest \(8.0 \times 10^{2}\ \mathrm{g}\) of snow at \(0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) to quench thirst? (The amount of heat necessary to melt snow is 6.01 kJ/mol.)

(The amount of heat necessary to melt snow is 6.01 kJ/mol.)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
(a) Here we have to calculate How much heat (in kJ) does the body have to supply to raise the temperature of the water to 37°C.
Given:
Initial temperature of water = 3.0 °C
Final temperature = 37 °C
Volume = 
Density of water = 1.0 g/mL
