Question

If you drop a 25 gram piece of metal that has a temperature of 100° Celsius into 1000 grams of water at 20°Celsius, what best describes what would occur?

Answer 1

heat would pass from metal to the water and in time the temperature of the whole system would stabilise

the final temperature will depend on the specific heat of the metal and of water and the masses of both and inial temperatures

Answer 2

so the Metal's temperature will transfer into the water and be equals to the water temperature, right?
