When the turkey, which is at a temperature of 45°C, is placed in the oven at 185°C and the oven is immediately turned off, the thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey until they reach a temperature equilibrium. However, since thermal energy cannot continue to flow from the oven after it has been turned off, the turkey will not reach the temperature of the oven.
The correct response in this case would be that thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey until they reach equilibrium. Since the oven is turned off, the temperature of the oven will gradually drop, and the turkey will gradually heat up. They will both reach a temperature at some point, but it will not be at or exceed 185°C.
Therefore, the best representation is: Thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey until they both reach a temperature above 45°C but below 185°C, eventually reaching a lower equilibrium temperature. (This specific wording may not match your response options directly.)
However, since none of the provided options appear to correctly describe this scenario, it's crucial to note that it's not possible for them to reach 100°C (which is above the initial temperature of the turkey). The options about reaching 200°C (which is also not feasible as the oven is off) or both thermally equating at 45°C are incorrect. The oven will lose heat, and the turkey will gain heat to an intermediate temperature, but it will not continue indefinitely since the oven is turned off.
