7. Beaker X contains 100 milliliters of water and Beaker Y contains 250 milliliters of water. Each beaker is
heated on a hot plate at the same medium heat setting for five minutes. Which is the best prediction of the
water temperature in the beakers? (S8P2.d)
A. Beaker X will have the highest temperature.
B. Beaker Y will have the highest temperature.
C. Beaker X and Beaker Y will have the same temperature.
D. Beaker Y will have a temperature of 150°F.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Assuming both beakers absorb the same amount of heat -

(A)    X will be at a higher temperature because its rate of heat absorption

will be 2.5 faster than beaker Y

Heat =  mass * specific heat * change in temperature
