If you drop a 150 gram piece of metal that has a temperature of 125°Celsius into 1000 grams of water at 20°Celsius, what best describes what would occur?

More heat will be lost by the metal than gained by the water.

The temperature of the water will be greater than the amount of heat lost by the metal.

The temperature change of the metal will equal the temperature change of the water.

The heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gained by the water.
