Byrd has a mug of coffee at a temperature of 93°C. He sets the mug on a counter in a room with an air temperature of 25°C. What is most likely to happen to the temperature of the coffee?
Type Answer HERE:
The hot coffee will transfer thermal energy into the air, and the energy transfer will continue until the coffee is at room temperature.
The air will transfer thermal energy into the coffee, and the energy transfer will continue until the coffee is at room temperature.
The hot coffee will transfer thermal energy into the air and will continue to transfer energy until they are both 93℃.

are yoou sure
Yes, I am sure. When a hotter object comes into contact with a cooler object, heat transfer occurs from the hotter object to the cooler object until they reach thermal equilibrium. In this case, the hot coffee will transfer thermal energy to the cooler air in the room until both reach the same temperature, which is the room temperature of 25°C.
