Question

A vial is filled with room temperature water, and blue cold water has been placed at the bottom. A warm water bag sits next to the vial. What do you think will happen?

Answer 1

Explanation:

In the context, a vial which is used in store medical samples is filled with water at room temperature. And the vial is kept on a cold water. Also a water bag containing warm water is kept near the vial.

The cold water kept at the bottom of the vial is having lower kinetic energy while warm water will have higher kinetic energy than the others. Since the water in the vial is at room temperature and it is in touch with the cold blue water, the water in the vial will loose or give its temperature to the cold blue water through conduction as well as convection process since temperature always flows from a hot body towards the cold body.

On the other hand, the warm water placed next tot he vial will give its temperature to the atmosphere.
