Study the scenario.

A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large container of water with a higher temperature.

Which choice correctly explains what happens to the thermal energy of these systems?


The smaller container of water has more heat and thermal energy than the larger container. Some heat and thermal energy is transferred to the larger container of water.

The larger container of water has more heat and thermal energy than the smaller container. Some heat and thermal energy is transferred to the smaller container of water.

The larger container of water has more thermal energy and some of that energy is transferred to the colder water in a process known as heating.

The smaller container of water has more thermal energy than the larger container, and some of that energy is transferred to the warmer water in a process known as heating.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process
