An aluminum block has a starting temperature of 300oC. The block is placed into 200 milliliters of water, which has a temperature of 20oC. What heat transfer will occur?(1 point)
Responses
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both have a temperature of 300oC.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both have a temperature of 300oC.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have a temperature between 20 degrees Celsius and 300 degrees Celcius.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have a temperature between 20 degrees Celsius and 300 degrees Celcius.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have the same temperature as their container.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have the same temperature as their container.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have a temperature of 20 degrees Celcius.
The correct response is:
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have the same temperature as their container.
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have the same temperature as their container.
The correct response is:
Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have the same temperature.
Explanation:
When two objects with different temperatures come into contact, heat will flow from the object with higher temperature to the object with lower temperature until they both reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they have the same temperature. In this case, the aluminum block with a starting temperature of 300°C will transfer heat to the water with a temperature of 20°C until they both reach the same temperature.
