It depends on where the mine is, and how deep it is. In most of the US, the year-round temperature a few dozen feet underground is somewhere in the vicinity of 55 degrees (Fahrenheit)... colder in the north, warmer in the south, ask a local caver if you want to know what it is in your area specifically.

The deeper you go, the warmer it gets. Very roughly speaking, every 30 feet deeper means about a 1 degree rise in temperature... this isn't true in all mines, it depends on the local geology, but that's a pretty good rule of thumb.

What would happen to a system at equilibrium if the temperature changed?

If the temperature of a system at equilibrium changed, the equilibrium position would shift to counteract the change. If the temperature increased, the equilibrium would shift in the endothermic direction to absorb the excess heat. If the temperature decreased, the equilibrium would shift in the exothermic direction to release more heat.


How can you use boiling points and melting points to determine a solid liquid or gas that an element would be in at a certain temperature?

If the temperature is below the melting point then the element is a solid.If the temperature is above the melting point but below the boiling point, then the element is a liquid.If the temperature is above the boiling point, then the element is a gas.


When you mixed room temperature salt and room temperature water the mixture changes temperature. If you leave this mixture undisturbed for several hours what would happen to the temperature?

The temperature of the mixture would eventually reach equilibrium with the surrounding room temperature as the system stabilizes. This process is known as thermal equilibrium where the heat is evenly distributed throughout the system.


A volume of air has a temperature of 0C. an equal volume of air that is twice as hot has a temperature of?

The equal volume of air that is twice as hot would have a temperature of 20C. Temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the air molecules, so doubling the temperature would double the kinetic energy of the molecules.


What would the temperature reading be on the thermometer when ink has been boiling for two minutes?

The temperature would depend on the boiling point of the ink. The thermometer would likely show a temperature close to the boiling point of the ink, which could vary depending on the type of ink being boiled.
