Under these conditions, which of the following statements is true?
| A. | Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the thermal conductivity of steam is much higher than that of liquid water. |
| B. | Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well. |
| C. | Hot water burns the skin worse than steam because the thermal conductivity of hot water is much higher than that of steam. |
| D. | Hot water and steam both burn skin about equally badly. |

Burns produced by steam at 100 degree C are much more severe than those produced by the same mass of 100 degree C water. To verify this, answer the questions below. Specific heat of water = 1.00 kcal/(kg degree C); heat of vaporization = 539 kcal/kg; specific heat of human flesh = 0.83 kcal/(kg degree C). Calculate the quantity of heat that must be removed from 7.00 g of 100degree C water to lower its temperature to 45.0degree C. kcal...

The following statements are about how humans can transfer thermal nengergy to their surroundings when the air temperature is greater than the core body temperature, 37 C. Which statements are correct? (Note: more than one statement may be correct?) a) The body temperature is simply allowed to go up by a few degrees, which is OK for a few hours. b) Seat glands release liquid that is hotter than the air onto the surface of the skin, so that the...

Which of the following statements regarding alcohols and ethers are true? Add a check by all the true statements. Methoxymethane (dimethyl ether) is more likely to be a liquid at 50 degree C than is 1-propanol. Alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds among themselves; ether molecules cannot. 1-Propanol is more likely to be a liquid at 50 degree C than is methoxymethane (dimethyl ether). Methoxymethane (dimethyl ether) is more soluble in water than is 1-propanol. Methoxymethane (dimethyl ether) has a...

Which of the following statements are true? 1. Glass is mostly silicon dioxide and so when a long narrow glass tube is placed into water, the water molecules form adhesive forces with the oxygen atoms in the molecules of the glass 2. The Shape of the meniscus seen when water is poured into a glass container is due to cohesive forms being greater than the adhesive forced being experienced. 3. When a glass tube is placed into a dish of...

Which of the following statements is false regarding copper / copper alloys ? Copper has a higher thermal conductivity than aluminum. Copper and its alloys form a green tarnish over time, consisting of sulfides and carbonates. Machining annealed copper is preferred over machining cold-worked copper, because the harder cold-worked copper tends to wear cutting tools extremely quickly, thereby requiring frequent replacement (additional time and processing costs). Copper is relatively resistant to corrosion by neutral and even mildly basic water. The...
