Question

An isolated system has an initial temperature of 30°C. It is then placed on top of a Bunsen burner whose temperature is 70°C for an hour. What is the final temperature?

(a) 30°C
(b) 35°C
(c) 40°C
(d) 45°C

Answer 1

The final temperature of the isolated system placed on top of a Bunsen burner for an hour is 35°C.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the final temperature of the isolated system after being placed on top of a Bunsen burner for an hour, we can use the principle of heat transfer. The initial temperature of the system is 30°C, and the Bunsen burner has a temperature of 70°C. The heat from the burner will transfer to the system until it reaches equilibrium.

In this case, since the Bunsen burner is at a higher temperature, heat will flow from the burner to the system. As a result, the final temperature of the system will be higher than 30°C but lower than 70°C. So, the correct answer is (b) 35°C.
