Q. 3.66 - An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry

Question

After a week, biochemical reactions in compost slow, and the temperature drops to $45°C.$ The dark brown organic-rich mixture is ready for use in the garden. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? In kelvins?$(3.3)$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The Fahrenheit of the temperature is $318K$.

Step 1: Biochemical.

The application of chemistry's tools and concepts to living systems is known to as biochemistry.

Step 2: Fahrenheit.

Compost of temperature $=45°C$

Know that,

$T_F=1.8\left(T_c\right)+32°$

$=1.8(45°C)+32°$

$=113°F$

Step 3: Kelvin.

Shows that,

$T_K=273+T_C$

$=273+45°C$

$=318K$
