Chapter 18 Problem 25

Question

A certain diet doctor encourages people to diet by drinking ice water. His theory is that the body must burn off enough fat to raise the temperature of the water from 0.00-C to the body temperature of 37.0- C. How many liters of ice water would have to be consumed to burn off 454 g (about 1 lb) of fat, assuming that burning this much fat requires 3500 Cal be transferred to the ice water? Why is it not advisable to follow this diet? (One liter # 103 cm3 . The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3 .)

Solution

Step 1 of 3)
