Solved: High-altitude mountain climbers do not eat snow,
Chapter 14, Problem 14.29(choose chapter or problem)
(II) High-altitude mountain climbers do not eat snow, but always melt it first with a stove. To see why, calculate the energy absorbed from your body if you: (a) eat 1.0 kg of \(-15^{\circ}C\) snow which your body warms to body temperature of \(37^{\circ}C\) snow which your body warms to body temperature of \(37^{\circ}C\); (b) melt 1.0 kg of \(-15^{\circ}C\) snow using a stove and drink the resulting 1.0 kg of water at \(2^{\circ}C\), which your body has to warm to \(37^{\circ}C\).
