A 100 Gram sample of metal was heated to 100 C and then quickly transferred to an insulated container holding 100 grams of water at 22 C. The temperature of the water rose to reach a final temperature of 35C. Which of the following can be concluded? A. The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did;therefore the metal lost more thermal energy than the water gained. B. The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did, but the metal lost the same amount of thermal energy as the water gained. C. The metal temperature changed more than the water temperature did; therefore the heat capacity of the metal must be greater than the heat capacity of the water. D. The final temperature is less than the average starting temperature of the metal and the water; therefore the total energy of the metal and the water decreased.
