Question:

A runner generates 418 kJ of energy per kilometer from the cellular oxidation of food. The runner’s body must dissipate this heat or the body will overheat. Suppose that sweat evaporation is the only important cooling mechanism. If you estimate the enthalpy of evaporation of water as 44 kJ/mol and assume that sweat can be treated as water, describe how you would estimate the volume of sweat that would have to be evaporated if the runner runs a 10-km race.
