Question

question 5 1 pts a chemist recorded the change in temperature of a cooling liquid as - 25.5°f over a 1.5 minute period. the temperature fell at a constant rate. what was the rate of change in temperature? select °f per minute

Explanation:

Step1: Recall rate - of - change formula

The rate of change of temperature is given by $\text{Rate}=\frac{\text{Change in temperature}}{\text{Time}}$.

Step2: Substitute values

We know that the change in temperature $\Delta T=- 25.5^{\circ}F$ and the time $\Delta t = 1.5$ minutes. So, $\text{Rate}=\frac{-25.5}{1.5}$.

Step3: Calculate the rate

$\frac{-25.5}{1.5}=-17$.

Answer:

$-17^{\circ}F$ per minute
