Question

16. 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)ResponsesHeat 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 a temperature of 20 degrees Celcius.Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have a temperature of 20 degrees Celcius.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 the same temperature as their container.

Answer 1

Heat will flow from the block to the water until both substances have a temperature between 20 degrees Celsius and 300 degrees Celsius.

In the given scenario, the aluminum block at 300°C will transfer heat to the water at 20°C until thermal equilibrium is reached. This means that the final temperature will be somewhere between the two initial temperatures.
