When perspiration on the human body absorbs heat, some of the perspiration turns into water vapor. The latent heat of vaporization at body temperature (37 oC) is 2.42 x 106 J/kg. The heat absorbed is approximately equal to the average energy given to a single water molecule (H2O) times the number of water molecules that are vaporized. What is the average energy given to a single water molecule?|||There are Avogadro molecules of water in 1 mole = 18 g.
Ave. energy/molecule = 0.018*2.42E6/Avogadro J.
