The temperature of the dead body is? (CSS 2010 General Science & Ability Paper)

0 °C
37 °C
room temperature
temperature of the place where it is kept

Temperature decay refers to how the temperature of an object changes over time, especially in a cooling environment. After death, the body starts losing heat until it reaches the ambient temperature. Algor mortis is the name used to describe the normal cooling of a body after death as it equilibrates with the ambient temperature.
  • In Latin, Algor mortis means “cold death.” It is the second stage of changes that occur after death as the body’s temperature reaches the temperature of its surroundings.
  • During Algor Mortis the body’s temperature cools to match that of the surroundings. If the body is in a warm environment, the temperature will rise to match the surroundings. It is a result of the body’s thermoregulatory system stopping.

Room temperature is a range of temperatures that denotes comfortable habitation for humans. Across this temperature range, a person isn’t either hot or cold.

  • Water at room temperature is a liquid because its freezing point is 0 °C and boiling point is 100 °C.
  • An iron almirah is a solid at room temperature because melting point of iron is higher than room temperature.
