Btw doesnt the mark scheme says the final answer is 4.2 x 10^5
the text below is copied from the Ms
It has A big OR after every correct answer!! :D
No offence meant btw

(E/Q =) mc∆T in any algebraic or numerical form e.g. 4200 × 16, 2100 × 5
67 200 or 10 500 or 77 700 seen or (E/Q =) ml or mL algebraic seen
4.2 × 105 J

But they give the third mark (A1) only if u have mentioned 4.2 x 10^5
Only two marks will be awarded if any of the three or's are mentioned
Thts wht i think :p

Look guys. I don't think it would be a pain in the gut if you write:

77700 (which you have already obtained) and add the 3.4 * 10^5 from the latent heat of vaporization to get 4.2 * 10^5

Now quit it!

Thnx for telling the solution after the 77700 part ! I was stuck thre !

Can anybody please tell me about these ?
Q22...
it'll be at X because he cant "sense" the prick but he can process it (hence spinal area is not anasthasised) and he can move it too... (motor neurone is working)

If he cant sense it den how is a nerve impulse created ? And transmitted ?

No it will be at Z because the sensory neurons give the message of stimulus to the brain which brings about the feeling of pain therefor the block is at Z and the message is transferred from X to Y

The block is at Z in the mark scheme !!

u mean like a reflex arc? but then he should feel it ryt? :confused:
No, The leg moved due to the pinprick because it was a reflex action to the stimulus generated by the sensory neurons, the feeling of pain generated by the brain could not take place because it was blocked. had the block been on X the person would neither have felt the pain nor moved the leg because the message could not have passed through the sensory neurons in the first place.
