A slice of cheese is 3.0°C and is sitting on a dish that is 3.0°C. If the dish and cheese are in a refrigerator that is set to 3.0°C, which of the following statements is true? (1 point) Responses Heat will not flow because there is no temperature difference between the substances. Heat will not flow because there is no temperature difference between the substances. The temperature of the cheese will increase and the temperature of the dish will decrease. The temperature of the cheese will increase and the temperature of the dish will decrease. Heat will flow from the air in the refrigerator to the cheese and the dish. Heat will flow from the air in the refrigerator to the cheese and the dish. The temperature of the air in the refrigerator will decrease and the temperature of the cheese will increase.
1 answer
The correct statement is: Heat will not flow because there is no temperature difference between the substances.
In this scenario, since the cheese, the dish, and the air in the refrigerator are all at the same temperature of 3.0°C, there is no temperature gradient to drive the flow of heat between them. Therefore, heat will not flow among these substances.
