Asked by Rebecca

A person brings a cup of hot tea which is 170 degrees F into a room that is 65 degrees F and places a metal spoon which is 65 degrees F into the hot tea What happens to the temp. of the hot tea,the spoon and the air in ten minutes?
Answered by DrBob222
The hot tea cools, the spoon and air heat up but the spoon heats more than the room full of air. The final temperature will be somewhat less than 65 F but not much less (it all depends upon the size of the room). You could calculate the final temperature if you had the masses of each of the three and their specific heats.
