Calculate the amount of water in liters that would have to be vaporized at 40 C (approximately body temperature) to expend the 2.5 x 10^6 calories of heat generated by a person in one day (commonly called sweating). The heat of vaporization of water at this temperature is 574 cal/g. We normally do not sweat this much. Explain what is wrong with this calculation?
