Question

Two samples of gold that have different temperatures are placed in contact with one another. Heat will flow spontaneously from a sample of gold at 60°C to a sample of gold that has a temperature of

(1) 50°C (3) 70°C
(2) 60°C (4) 80°C

Answer 1

It is 50. This is because heat goes from higher temperatures to lower and nothing else in the options is lower.

Answer 2

`50^(o) C`

Step-by-step explanation:

The second law f thermodynamics tells us that naturally, heat will flow from a hotter object to a colder object until the bodies are at the same temperature. So heat will spontaneously flow from gold at 60 degrees Celsius to a body that is colder than it which on the list of possible answers.
