14.

As part of a lab experiment, Tasha drops a metal cube into a beaker of water, as shown in the figure aside.(metal cube 50 0C, water 25 0C)

After energy in the form of heat transfers between the substances, what is the final temperature of the water?

a)

The final temperature is 25 °C because there is more water than metal.

b)

The final temperature is 50 °C because the metal warms the water to the temperature of the metal.

c)

The final temperature is between 25 °C and 50 °C because energy is transferred from the metal to the water.

d)

The final temperature is between 25 °C and 50 °C because most of the thermal energy is lost to the air around the substances.
