Question

A scientist measure change in the temperature of chemical solution at the start of the experiment , the solutions is at temperature of -14.96C. The temperature decreases 2.9C each hour

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature of the chemical solution after t hours is $-14.96-2.9t\;^{\circ}C$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the initial temperature of the chemical solution, $T_0= -14.96^{\circ}C$.

The rate of decreasing temperature, $R = 2.9^{\circ}C/ hour$

So, after t hours, the temperature of the chemical solution will decrease by $Rt=2.9t^{\circ}C$.

So, the temperature of the chemical solution after t hours,

$T=T_0-Rt \\\\\Rightarrow T = -14.96-2.9t\;^{\circ}C$

Hence, the temperature of the chemical solution after t hours is $-14.96-2.9t^{\circ}C$.
