A 75.0 kg patient is running a fever of 105°F and is given an alcohol rub to lower the body temperature. If the specific heat of the human body is approximately 0.830 kcal/kg°C and the heat of vaporization of the alcohol is 203 kcal/kg, determine the mass of alcohol necessary to lower the body temperature down to 102°F
