The two insulated beakers shown contain equal amounts of identical liquids. The temperature of Beaker A is 85°C. The temperature of Beaker B is 40°C. A metal rod connects the beakers. Five minutes later, the temperature of Beaker A is 75°C and the temperature of Beaker B is 50°C. What might the temperatures be after another five minutes have passed?

Question

anonymous · Answer

the temperature in Bealer A is probably going to be 65C and beaker B at 60F. Since they are insulated and contain the same amount of identical liq, the rate of temperature increase should be linear.
