Question

slice of cheese is 3.0°C and is sitting on a dish that is 3.0°C.




If the dish and cheese are in a refrigerator that is set to 3.0°C, which of the following statements is true?





A.

Heat will not flow because there is no temperature difference between the substances.



B.

The temperature of the air in the refrigerator will decrease and the temperature of the cheese will increase.



C.

The temperature of the cheese will increase and the temperature of the dish will decrease.



D.

Heat will flow from the air in the refrigerator

Answer 1

Is this part of chemistry?

Answer 2

Like basic chem?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Well from what I recall, i know that heat increases the kinetic energy in the molecules. if there is something that is cold (like we can use 3 degrees celsius) then with heat, the stiff molecules in the cold substance will start to release and then something that's frozen will melt (like ice).

in this case, we have everything staying in the same temperature of 3 degrees celsius then there is no difference in the temperature so there is really no heat flow and neither is there anything that will make the substance cooler. so i guess that everything stays the same and there's no heat flow.
