Interpretation :
Temperatures of a cold soft drink and hot coffee in the same room will eventually be the same. A molecular level explanation must be provided for this.
Concept Introduction :
According to Calorimetry principle, hot object releases heat which is absorbed by the cold object. This heat transfer process continues until the temperature of the two objects becomes same.
Answer to Problem 8A
Hot coffee will transfer heat and cold soft drink will absorb the heat. So the temperature of both will be the same.
Explanation of Solution
Both the cold soft drink and hot coffee are kept in the same room. Initially the temperatures of the two matters are different. Heat transfer will take place between the two matters. Both the matter will try to attain the temperature of the room. Thus after sometimes soft drink and coffee will attain the same temperature which is equal to the temperature of the room.
