Calorimetry

Question 4 • *25-26 KCS18 Chemistry IC

At what point will the heat flow stop?

Answer
A
When the amounts of thermal energy in the cube and the container are equal.
B
When the temperatures of the cube and the container are equal.

Explanation

Heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler one until they reach thermal equilibrium. At that point, the cube and container have the same temperature, so there is no net heat flow between them. They do not need to contain equal amounts of thermal energy.
