If the freezing point of a soda is – 4.5 ºC and you leave it in your car overnight when the temperature dips to 25 ºF, will the soda freeze? (Pay close attention to the units!)

Respuesta :

Explanation:

We leave a soda in the car overnight and the temperature dips to 25 °F. To see if it will freeze we have to convert the °F to °C.

T(°C) = ( T(°F) - 32 ) *5/9

T(°C) = (25 - 32) *5/9

T(°C) = -3.9 °C

Since -3.9 °C is a temperature greater than the freezing point (-4.5 °C) the soda won't freeze.

Answer: The soda won't freeze.
