The answer to your question is false.
Answer:
Final temperature = 28.0 degrees C.
Explanation:
heat absorbed = mass * specific heat * rise in temperature.
The specific heat of water is 4.186 J /g/C so we have the equation
209 = 10 * 4.186 * x where x is the temperature increase
41.86x = 209
= 5 degrees C.
Becuse the earth rotates the opisate way on the other side of the equator forgive me if im wrong.
Lets make x equal the number times you use the 1/5 ratio alloy and y equal the number of times you use the 3/1 ratio alloy. You can make the equation (x+3y)-(5x+y)=0 and (x+3y)+(5x+y)=350
Then you can make the system of equation of:
-4x+2y=0 (this is y=2x)
6x+4y=350
You can make 6x+8x=350 by through substitution and solve of x.
14x=350
x=25 (which means y=50)
that means that the weight of the 1/5 ratio alloy is 150 pounds.
(25+(5x25))=150
the weight of the 3/1 ratio alloy is 200 pounds.
((50x3)+50)=200
I hope this helps.
