Question

Linda has two glasses of apple juice. Glass A has 40 grams of juice at 25 °C. Glass B has 40 grams of juice at 40 °C. Which of the following steps will make the kinetic energy of the molecules of the juice in both glasses equal?

Answer 1

The answer would be "C" increase glass a by 15 degrees

Answer 2

In both glasses have juices of same mass. But the temperature is different due to which the kinetic energy of molecules in both glasses is different.

As kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

To make the kinetic energy of the molecules equal she should:

• Heat one glass of 25°C to 40°C.

or

• Cool the juice of 40°C to 25°C
