260 miles with 12 gallons of gas
260 miles/12 gallons=21.6667 miles/1 gallon
286 miles/(21.6667 miles/1 gallon)=13.2 gallons of gas
Answer:
83°C
Explanation:
The following were obtained from the question:
M = 40g
C = 4.2J/g°C
T1 = 91°C
T2 =?
Q = 1300J
Q = MCΔT
ΔT = Q/CM
ΔT = 1300/(4.2x40)
ΔT = 8°C
But ΔT = T1 — T2 (since the reaction involves cooling)
ΔT = T1 — T2
8 = 91 — T2
Collect like terms
8 — 91 = —T2
— 83 = —T2
Multiply through by —1
T2 = 83°C
The final temperature is 83°C
