Two identical blocks are heated to different temperatures. The block are place so they touch, and heat begins to flow between blocks. The pair of blocks is insulated, so no energy escapes.

Question

Two identical blocks are heated to different temperatures. The block are place so they touch, and heat begins to flow between blocks. The pair of blocks is insulated, so no energy escapes.

237*. 183*
Block 1. Block 2
Later the temperature of each block is measured again. Which pair of temperatures is possible?
A. 210*C 210*C
Block 1 Block 2
B. 124*C. 178*C
Block 1. Block 2
C. 277*C 143*C
Block 1. Block 2

Answer 1

Based on the information given, it is not possible to determine which pair of temperatures is possible. We need more information about the initial temperatures of the blocks and the rate at which heat flows between them.
