What is the process of water releasing heat called?
Evaporation. A body of water is cooled as a portion of it is converted to vapor by evaporation.
Do humans float if they lay flat on the surface of the water?
Personally, I float if I inhale; but I sink if I exhale. Your results may vary - for example, depending on the amount of body fat.
Which heat is stored in water vapour?
The heat is stored in water vapour is latent heat.Latent heat describes energy that is not stored as the internal energy (i.e. temperature) of an object but in its phase state.For example, in the atmosphere heat that is transported by an air parcel that contains more water vapor than its surroundings. Because energy is needed to turn water into water vapor, water vapor is a way for a body to store energy (along with potential energy, kinetic energy, and sensible heat). If the water vapor is returned to a liquid or solid phase (by condensation or sublimation), the stored energy is released as sensible heat.
Is energy gained during evaporation?
It should be noted that energy cannot be gained or lost due to energy conservation. But there is a bit more to this as regards the situation being asked about. In terms of the energy of the water vapor, yes, the water vapor has more energy after it has evaporated. It has to have to have evaporated. The water vapor leaves the water from which it came with less energy; it took energy with it to evaporate. Either way, energy has been transferred from the body of water to the water that is evaporating, and it might help to view what is happening in that light.
Describe how the body can loose heat in conduction convection and radiation?
you are swimming in ice cold water and losing heat. How does heat leave your body?
What leaves the body when you exhale which is why mirrors get foggy when you breathe on them?
Water Vapor.
What is one chemical substance which is lost from your body at all times?
Everytime you exhale you release carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H20).
Why do you inhale and exhale?
because your body extracts the oxygen from the air in your lungs and as a result the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen in increased. Edit: During aerobic respiration, your body produces carbon dioxide from the breakdown of glucose to create ATP. Carbon dioxide is also produced during fermentation.
Which do the wastes go out of the body?
The majority leave your body when you defecate, urinate and exhale, some leaves the body with perspiration.
Which of the things does not appear in the air you exhale?
the answer is SWEAT. you only take in 4% of the oxygen you breath in into your body. water vapor appears because of hte moistness of your lungs. SEEN IT ON "ARE YOU SMARTER THEN A 5TH GRADER".
Why are dogs noses cold?
Dogs have cold noses because when they breathe they exhale water vapor through their noses. The vapor condenses on their noses and cools them down, similar how sweat cools down a human's body.
Why do some animals open their mouths to stay cool?
Some animals cannot perspire (sweat) like humans can. When water evaporates it cools the body. Animals, like dogs, open their mouths and exhale water vapor. This has a similar effect as sweating.
The oxygen that you breathe in and the CO2 that you exhale both enter and leave the cells of you body through the process of?
diffusion
What happens to gases you inhale?
According to wikipedia's article on the composite of gasses which we breathe every day (Air): It contains roughly (by molar content/volume) 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.038% carbon dioxide, trace amounts of other gases, and a variable amount (average around 1%) of water vapor.
When do the waste go out of the body?
The majority leave your body when you defecate, urinate and exhale, some leaves the body with perspiration.
What is sent out of the body every time you exhale?
When you exhale, you actually release oxygen, nitrogen and other gasses. But most of all you release more carbon dioxide. People often think that the lungs must be full of carbon dioxide but they are not. The percentage of gas in the lungs that is highest is nitrogen. It isn't used by your body but is important in keeping your lungs inflated. But all-in-all, you exhale more carbon dioxide than you inhale.
What is the movement of water vapor from a living body?
excretion
