Question

After a very heavy sport activity if you take a very hot shower, the water is:

a. A mixture

b. Superheated

c. Saturated vapor

d. Saturated liquid

e. Subcooled

Answer 1

Answer - d. Saturated liquid

The hot water shower is saturated liquid and others are not possible because

a. A Mixture

A mixture can't be used because we need very hot shower which means mixture would not be that much hot and it will not align with our body temperature.

b. Superheated

Superheated can cause skin burn to us so it is not feasible to use because of full vapour state

c. Saturated vapour

Saturated vapour will all be in vapor state instead of liquid state and it is good for steam bath but not for a shower after heavy workout

d. Saturated liquid

This can be used for shower because it is in liquid state and also it will align with body temperature and take the heat from body gradually

e. Subcooled

This can't be used as it can cause cramps due to temeprature difference.

Thank you!!
