The largest bubble chamber in the world is 15 ft in
diameter and contains 7259 gal of liquid hydrogen at a
temperature of 2247°C. If the temperature is dropped
by 11°C per hour for 2 consecutive hours, what is the
new temperature
At 2247 degrees C, hydrogen would not be liquid. Do you have a typo?
If not, 2247 - 2*11 = ?
The typo is the 2247 degrees Celsius. It's suppose to be -247 degree Celsius. How would your work the problem now?
To find the new temperature after a decrease of 11°C per hour for 2 consecutive hours, we need to subtract 11°C from the initial temperature for each hour.
Given:
Initial temperature = 2247°C
Temperature decrease per hour = 11°C
Number of hours = 2
Let's calculate the new temperature step by step:
1. First hour:
Initial temperature - Temperature decrease = 2247°C - 11°C = 2236°C
2. Second hour:
New temperature (after the first hour) - Temperature decrease = 2236°C - 11°C = 2225°C
Therefore, the new temperature after 2 consecutive hours of temperature decrease is 2225°C.
