Question
Chapter 4.5, Problem 4.17YT
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The Earth’s energy balance has to be described using your (student’s) own model of Earth’s energy balance instead of given Figure.
Concept introduction:
A system (here the Earth) is in energy balance when incoming energy equals outgoing energy. A system in balance does not get colder or hotter on average.
The Earth receives and emits energy as radition, changes in either energy input or output can lead to changes in Earth temperature and thus changes will occurs in climate also.

It has been determined that the body can generate 5500 kJ of energy during one hour of strenuous exercise. Perspiration is the body's mechanism for
eliminating this heat. What mass of water would have to be evaporated through perspiration to rid the body of the heat generated during 2 hours of
exercise? (The heat of vaporization of water is 40.6 kJ/mol.)
