Question

The student claims that thermal equilibrium is reached at time t . Justify the student's claim. In your justification, include a description of what occurs at the particulate level when the alloy and the water have reached thermal equilibrium.

Answer 1

The description of the given question is described in the explanation section below.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The metallic temperatures drop as well as the level or temperature of water rises, as the temperature including both water & steel is almost the same, zero heat transfer takes place.
• Molecules of liquid (water) will give energy benefit equivalent to either the energy lost via metal. Even before two entities interacted around the same degree they seem to be in thermodynamic equilibrium.
