A student puts a beaker of boiling water where it touches a block of ice. The two true statements are that the thermal energy will move from the boiling water to the ice and the thermal energy will move from the air to the ice. Therefore the correct options are options A and option B.
What is the boiling point?
It is a temperature at which the pressure exerted by the external atmosphere is equal to the vapor pressure of the substance.
The boiling point depends on atmospheric pressure, temperature, bond strength, and vapor pressure of the liquid.
As the water is boiling it means it has more thermal energy contained in it than the surrounding air and the ice is present at zero degrees.
As we know that heat is always transferred from the higher thermal potential to the lower thermal potential and as the boiling water has the higher thermal potential among the ice and the surrounding air thermal energy will move from the boiling water to the ice and the thermal energy will move from the air to the ice. Therefore the correct options are options A and option B.
