Question

A spatula is sitting in water of 80°C. There is no transfer of heat energy
occurring between the spatula and the water. At what temperature in °C is the spatula? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature of the spatula is 80 ºC.

Heat transfer occurs when there is a temperature difference, in this case, if both temperatures in spatula and water are different. If there is no heat transfer between water and the spatula, then we conclude that temperature of the spatula is 80 ºC.
