Chapter 3 Problem 3.66

Question

After a week, biochemical reactions in compost slow, and the temperature drops to

\(45^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The dark brown organic-rich mixture is ready for use in the garden. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? In kelvins?

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 3 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: After a week, biochemical reactions in compost slow, and the temperature drops to \(45^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The dark brown organic-rich mixture is ready for use in the garden. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? In kelvins?
From the textbook chapter Matter and Energy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
