Expert Solution
Step 1

Based on the Newton's law of cooling the temperature is related with time as:

T = Ta +(T0-Ta)e-kt                                                                                   ...1

Ta = The temperature surrounding the objectT0 = the initial temperature of the objectt    =the time in minutesT  =temperature of the object at time tk   = Decay constant 

Given:

Ta = The temperaturerefrigerator=38oFT0 = the initial temperature of the soda can = 67oFt    =the time in minutes = 30 minT  =temperature of the soda can at time 30 min     = 58oFk   = Decay constant 

Now putting the values in equation 1

58oF = 38oF +(67oF-38oF)e-k(30min)    20oF29oF= e-k(30min)

Now taking log we get

ln(0.69) =-k30           k  = 0.012
