A bag of frozen vegetables with temperature 32◦F is placed in a 75◦F room. After 20 minutes, the temperature of the vegetables has risen to 41◦F. Using this information, find an exponential formula for the temperature of the vegetables where time is measured in minutes. To find the exponential formula, transform the temperature into a new variable for which the problem can be solved as an exponential growth/decay problem. Then find the formula in that variable and transform back to temperature. Based on the formula, what is the temperature of the vegetables after 45 minutes?
A 20.65 g of ice at -10°C was completely melted in 115.35 g of water with an initial temperature of 75°C. The final temperature of the melted ice and water is 52°C.

This heat transfer causes a rapid increase in temperature if the cooling system fails (1 watt = 1 joule/second or 1 W = 1 J/s and 1 MW = 1 megawatt). (a) Calculate the rate of temperature increase in degrees Celsius per second (C/s) if the mass of the is 1.60105 kg and it has an average specific heat of 0.3349 kJ/kg . C. (b) How long would it take to obtain a temperature increase of 2000 C, which could cause some metals holding the radioactive materials to melt? (The initial rate of temperature increase would be greater than that calculated here because the heat transfer is concentrated in a smaller mass. Later, however, the temperature increase would slow down because the 500,000-kg steel containment vessel would also begin to heat up.)arrow_forward(1) The specific gravity of a urine sample is found to be 1.110 at a temperature of 24C. The specific gravity of this urine was determined with a urinometer. What is the corrected specific gravity value of this sample? (2) We've learned that urinometers are usually calibrated at 15 C and that we have to correct for samples that are above or below this temperature. This is because the density of a liquid changes with temperature. Using the density formula, explain why temperature affects the density of a liquid. Explain what happens to the density of a liquid as the temperature is raised and lowered.arrow_forward
