The rate at which a substance cools in moving air, is proportional to the difference between the temperature of the substance and that of air. The temperature of air is 290 K and the substance cools from 370 K to 330 K in 10 minutes. Then the time to cool the substance upto 295 K is

  1. A 40 min
  2. B 96 min
  3. C 50 min
  4. D 60 min
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 40 min

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \frac{T - T_a}{T_0 - T_a} = e^{-kt} \) \( \frac{330 - 290}{370 - 290} = e^{-k \cdot 10} \)
