A student drops substance A into substance B. What will happen?(1 point) Responses Substance A will become warmer as heat flows from substance A to substance B. Substance A will become warmer as heat flows from substance A to substance B. After some time passes, the substances will reach the same temperature. After some time passes, the substances will reach the same temperature. Both substances will reach 25°C due to heat exchange. Both substances will reach 25°C due to heat exchange. Both substances will reach 50°C due to heat exchange.

Answer 1

The correct response is: After some time passes, the substances will reach the same temperature.

When two substances at different temperatures are in contact, heat will flow from the warmer substance to the cooler one until they reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they will both reach the same temperature. The final temperature will depend on the initial temperatures and the specific heat capacities of the substances involved. It will not necessarily be 25°C or 50°C without additional information.
