Question

An iron block with a temperature of 250 degrees Celcius is placed into a container of water with a temperature of 50 degrees Celcius. Which statement best describes what will be observed in this experiment? (1 point) Responses Heat will flow from the iron block to the water until both are 25 degrees Celcius. Heat will flow from the iron block to the water until both are 25 degrees Celcius. Heat will flow from the iron block to the block to the water until both reach a temperature somewhere between 50 degrees Celcius and 25 degrees Celcius. Heat will flow from the iron block to the block to the water until both reach a temperature somewhere between 50 degrees Celcius and 25 degrees Celcius. Heat will flow from the water to the iron block until both are at the temperature of the container. Heat will flow from the water to the iron block until both are at the temperature of the container. Heat will flow from the iron block to the water until both are 50 degrees Celcius. Heat will flow from the iron block to the water until both are 50 degrees Celcius.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: Heat will flow from the iron block to the water until both reach a temperature somewhere between 50 degrees Celsius and 250 degrees Celsius.

In this scenario, heat transfer occurs from the hotter object (the iron block at 250 degrees Celsius) to the cooler object (the water at 50 degrees Celsius). The final temperature will be somewhere between these two temperatures, depending on the masses and specific heat capacities of both the iron and the water.
