Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics explains the change in temperature of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the principle of calorimetry,

Heat lost by hot body = Heat gained by the cold body

Heat always transfer from high temperature body to low temperature body without being aided by any machine.
