When hot water is added to cold water. In which direction does the heat energy move (1 point)

Question

• The heat energy moves from the hot water into the cold water.
• The heat energy moves from the cold water into the hot water.
• Equivalent amounts of heat energy move in both directions.
• No heat energy moves, as it all remains in the hot water.

Answer 1

The correct option is: The heat energy moves from the hot water into the cold water.

Heat energy always transfers from a region of higher temperature (hot water) to a region of lower temperature (cold water) until thermal equilibrium is reached.
