Answer : The approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Explanation :

The formula for Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion is

C = (F-32) \times \frac{5}{9}

At lower temperature the value that needs to be subtracted (32) is large enough as a result the approximation "celsius = 1/2 fahrenheit " does not seem valid.

For example, 50 F is 10°C.

(50 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 10 C

This is almost 1/5 of Fahrenheit temperature.

But at higher temperatures , the value becomes insignificant and also the ratio  5/9 tend to be equal to 0.5.

For example, 2000 F is 1093°C

(2000 - 32) \times \frac{5}{9} = 1093 C

This is almost half of Fahrenheit temperature.

Therefore , the approximate relation Celsius = 1/2 Fahrenheit is a better approximation at higher temperatures

Determine the final temperature of sample with a specific heat of 1.1 J/g°C and a mass of 385 g if it starts out at a temperatur
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

T2 =21.52°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Specific heat capacity of sample = 1.1 J/g.°C

Mass of sample = 385 g

Initial temperature = 19.5°C

Heat absorbed = 885 J

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = Final temperature - initial temperature

885J = 385 g× 1.1 J/g.°C×(T2 - 19.5°C )

885 J = 423.5 J/°C× (T2 - 19.5°C )

885 J / 423.5 J/°C = (T2 - 19.5°C )

2.02°C = (T2 - 19.5°C )

T2 = 2.02°C + 19.5°C

T2 =21.52°C
