Question

the table shows the same data about how the temperature of each aquarium changed over 1.5 hours. aquarium initial temperature (°c) final temperature (°c) uncovered aquarium 21.6 17.0 covered aquarium 21.6 17.0 which statement is correct? thermal energy was transferred more slowly out of the uncovered aquarium. thermal energy was transferred more slowly out of the covered aquarium. thermal energy was transferred out of both aquariums at the same rate.

Explanation:

A cover can act as an insulator. Since both aquariums have the same initial and final temperatures over the same time - period, the covered aquarium likely had its heat loss slowed down by the cover.

Answer:

Thermal energy was transferred more slowly out of the covered aquarium.
