Question

Rosa pours a cup of boiling water into a pot of room temperature water. According to the second law of

thermodynamics, what will occur?
O Thermal energy from the room temperature water will continuously flow to the boiling water.
O 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 1

Answer: D. 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.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because thermal energy moves from warmer objects to cooler objects, until they are at the same level of thermal energy or temperature.
