Question
one suggested treatment for a person who has suffered a stroke is to immerse the patient in an ice-water bath a 0 degrees Celsius to lower the body temperature, which prevents damage to the brain. In one set of tests. patients were cooled until their internal temperature reached 32 degrees Celsius. To treat a 70.0kg patient, what is the minimum amount of ice (at 0 degrees Celsius) that you need in the bath so that its temperature remain at 0 degrees Celsius? The specific heat capacity of the human body is 3480 J/ (kg*C), and recall that normal body temperature is 37.0 degrees Celsius. PLEASE SHOW WORK AND I WILL RATE YOU!Explanation / Answer
during cooling of body tem frm 37 to 32 heat loss = msT=70*3480*5=1218 KJ
this heat is taken be ice ....m mass is converted in to water then mL=1218 KJ
m=1218/334=3.647 kg ice ir required
