Rosa pours a cup of boiling water into a pot of room-temperature water. according to the second law of thermodynamics, what will occur?

thermal energy from the room-temperature water will continuously flow to the boiling water.

thermal energy from the room-temperature water will flow to the boiling water until all of the water in the pot is at a single temperature.

thermal energy from the boiling water will continuously flow to the room-temperature water.

thermal energy from the boiling water will flow to the room-temperature water until all of the water in the pot is at a single temperature.

Answer is: Thermal energy from the boiling water will flow to the room-temperature water until all of the water in the pot is at a single temperature.

Thermal conductuction is the transfer of heat through physical contact. Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat by microscopic collisions of particles.

Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter to a colder substance (in this example water).

The process of heat conduction depends on four basic factors: the temperature gradient, the cross section of the materials involved, their path length and the properties of those materials.

a pan containing water is placed in a positio n where it is exposed to a 10 mile per hour wind. the pan contains a uniform depth of 1.27 cm of water, is quite wide, and has a length of 2.44 m in the wind direction. the water in the pan is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c.
