Find the average energy given to a single water molecule

Reference no: EM13659515

When perspiration on the human body absorbs heat, some of the perspiration turns into water vapor. The latent heat of vaporization at body temperature (37^oC) is 2.42 x 106 J/kg. The heat absorbed is approximately equivalent to the average energy given to a single water molecule (H2O) times the number of water molecules that are vaporized. Find the average energy given to a single water molecule?
