    The correct answer is b

    Explanation:

    In this exercise we must assume that no heat from the environment enters, the initial heat of the puddle is distributed in the heat of the evaporated water and the heat of liquid water remaining

    Let's look for the heat to evaporate the water

    Q₁ = m L

    Q₁ = 0.50 540

    Q₁ = 270 cal

    The remaining water is

    m = 150 - 0.50 = 149.5 gr

    The heat for this water is

    Q2 = m ce DT

    The amount of heat should be conserved, the heat assigned is equal to minus the heat absorbed

    Q₁ = - Q₂

    Q₁ = - m ce ΔT

    ΔT = - Q₁ / m ce

    Δt = - 270 / (149.5 1)

    ΔT = - 1.8 ° C

    The water has cooled 1.8 ° c

    The correct answer is b
