Boiling water at 100 degrees c is placed in a freezer at 0 d
Boiling water at 100 degrees c, is placed in a freezer at 0 degrees c. the temperature of the water is 50 degrees c after 24 minutes. Find the temperature of the water after 96 minutes
Solution
hot water temperature reduced to half the original temperature in 24 minutes,this means 24 minutes is the time period of a exponential function.
In 96 minutes there are 4 timeperiods means temp reduces to1/24=1/16 times of original temperature
final temperature=100/16=6.25 degrees c
