The correct response is:
**When it has reached the same temperature as the room temperature air.**
Heat transfer will stop when the temperatures of the coffee and the surrounding air equalize, meaning they have reached thermal equilibrium.
**When it has reached the same temperature as the room temperature air.**
Heat transfer will stop when the temperatures of the coffee and the surrounding air equalize, meaning they have reached thermal equilibrium.
