Answer to Question #168242 in General Chemistry for Shein

Question

A. The sketch below shows two 1identical beakers with different volumes of water at the same temperature. Is the thermal energy content of beaker 1 greater than, less than, or equal to that of beaker 2? Explain your reasoning

B. If the same quantity of thermal energy were transferred to each beaker in question (a), would the temperature of beaker 1 be greater than, less than, or equal to that of beaker 2? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

A) Q = mc$\Delta T$

temperature is same at both beaker

But volume of 1 beaker is more than beaker 1

So , thermal energy is beaker 1 is greater than beaker 2

B) Q = mc $\Delta T$

If same thermal energy were transfered to each beaker

temperature of beaker 1 is equal to beaker 2
