Question

diagram 1 diagram 2 212°c 543°c 212°c 543°c which of the following depictions correctly describes the flow of heat? diagram 2 both diagrams are incorrect. diagram 1

Explanation:

Heat flows from a higher - temperature object to a lower - temperature object. The temperature of the first object is \(212^{\circ}\text{C}\) and the second is \(543^{\circ}\text{C}\). So heat should flow from the \(543^{\circ}\text{C}\) object to the \(212^{\circ}\text{C}\) object. In Diagram 2, the heat flow arrow is from the higher - temperature (\(543^{\circ}\text{C}\)) to the lower - temperature (\(212^{\circ}\text{C}\)) object, while in Diagram 1, it is the reverse.

Answer:

Diagram 2
