Question

Olivia is brewing tea. She starts boiling 0.455 L of water in a kettle. The change in volume of the contents of the kettle are noted below. First, Olivia adds tea leaves. This increases the volume of the contents by 0.056 L. After a few minutes of brewing, evaporation brings the volume down by 0.004 L. Finally, Olivia pours herself a cup, which reduces the volume of the contents of the kettle by 0.168 L. What is the volume of the contents of the kettle after Olivia pours herself a cup of tea? A. 0.227 L B. 0.287 L C. 0.339 L D. 0.347 L

Answer 1

C (0.339 L)

Explanation:

Volume after adding tea leaves = 0.455 + 0.056 = 0.511 L

Volume after evaporation = 0.511 - 0.004 = 0.507 L

Volume after pouring out a cup = 0.507 - 0.168 = 0.339 L [Ans]

Hope this helps!
