- Explain why oceanfront areas generally have smaller temperature fluctuations than inland areas.arrow_forwardfriend of yours reads that the process of water freezing is exothermic. This friend tells you that this can’t be true because exothermic implies “hot,” and ice is cold. Is the process of water freezing exothermic? If so, explain this process so your friend can understand it. If not, explain why not.arrow_forwardA 45-g aluminum spoon (specific heat 0.88 J/g C) at 24 C is placed in 180 mL (180 g) of coffee at 85 C and the temperature of the two become equal.
