Question 5 • *25-26 KCS18 Chemistry IC

Why does a hot water bottle feel warm?

Answer
A
Molecules in the hot water bottle are moving faster than molecules in the skin.
B
Molecules in the skin are moving faster than molecules in the hot water bottle.

Explanation

The hot water bottle has a higher temperature than the skin, so its water molecules have greater average kinetic energy and move faster. Heat transfers from the bottle to the cooler skin, making it feel warm. Choice B reverses which molecules are moving faster.
