11.
11. If a hot cup of coffee is left on a table in a room that is 70 degrees, what would the final temperature be when heat stops transferring?
a)
The final temperature is between 90° and 70° because most of the thermal energy is lost to the air around the substances
b)
The final temperature is 70° because the air warms the coffee to the temperature of the air.
c)
The final temperature is 90° because there is more coffee than air.
d)
The final temperature is between 90° and 70° because energy is transferred from the coffee to the air
