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. Both substances will reach 50°C due to heat exchange. Both substances will reach 50°C due to heat exchange. Both substances will reach 25°C due to heat exchange. Both substances will reach 25°C due to heat exchange. After some time passes, the substances will reach the same temperature.

Answer 1

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

When two substances at different temperatures are mixed, heat will flow from the warmer substance to the cooler substance until thermal equilibrium is reached, meaning both substances will eventually reach the same temperature. However, the final temperature will depend on the initial temperatures and the specific heat capacities of the substances involved. The other options provided do not accurately represent the general principle of heat exchange.
