Question

the specific heat capacity of aluminum is about twice that of iron. Consider two blocksof equal mass, onemade of aluminum and the other one made of iron, initially in thermal equillibrium. when the two materials have reached thermal equilibrium, the block of aluminum is cut in half in equal quantities of heat are added to the iron block and to each portion of the aluminum block. which of the following statements is true? a)the three block are no longer in thermal equilibrium, the iron block is warmer b)the three blocks are no longer in thermal equilibrium, both aluminum blocks are warmer c)the three blocks remain in thermal equilibrium

Explanation / Answer

c)the three blocks remain in thermal equilibrium
