The correct option for the statement “When three-quarters of a container of hot water is poured into a second empty container, the second container then has”.
Answer to Problem 2RAT
The correct option for the statement “When three-quarters of a container of hot water is poured into a second empty container, the second container then has” is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
The physical property of a substance, which depends on the mass and volume of a substance and changes whenever one of these quantities gets change, then it is known as an extensive property. Whereas, the physical property that does not depends on the volume and mass is known as an intensive property.
Volume and all types of energies are extensive property, and they depend on mass and volume. As the three-quarters of a container of hot water is poured into a second empty container so the volume of the hot water and its thermal energy in the second container will be
The temperature is an intensive property and it does not depend on the quantity of a substance, so the temperature of the hot water in the second container will remain the same.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the correct option for the statement “When three-quarters of a container of hot water is poured into a second empty container, the second container then has” is option (d).
