Question

A student places a turkey which is at room temperature of 45°C into the oven that has a temperature of 185°C. If the student immediately turns off the oven after he places the turkey inside of it, then what will happen to the turkey?(1 point)

Thermal energy will flow from turkey into the oven until they both reach equilibrium at 45°C.

Thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey until they both reach a temperature of over 200°C.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Thermal energy will flow from the oven into the turkey until they reach equilibrium at 100°C.

When the turkey is placed in the oven, which is at a higher temperature (185°C) than the turkey (45°C), thermal energy will transfer from the oven to the turkey until they reach thermal equilibrium. Since the oven is turned off, the turkey will absorb heat from the oven until the temperature of the turkey becomes lower than or equal to the temperature of the oven initially. However, since the oven is not actively providing heat, the maximum temperature the turkey can reach will be below the initial oven temperature, and it will not exceed 100°C, which is the temperature that would cook the turkey properly.
