Answer to Question #140160 in Chemistry for mimi

Question

Two metal objects are placed in direct contact. Both objects have the same shape and about the same mass. Initially block A has a temperature of 100C and block B a temperature of 20C. After placing the two blocks in direct contact, the temperature of both blocks are again checked and this time the temperature of Block A is 60Cand block B is 60C. How can we explain why the final temperature of both objects are so different? *

Answer 1

The final temperatures of blocks are equal. This is because of the heat transfer process between two of them. This is the process of thermal energy exchange due to temperature difference between matters. In general, it occurs from a hotter body to a colder body.
