Question

the table shows the same data about how the temperature of each bottle of soda changed over 25 minutes.
bottle\tinitial temperature (°c)\tfinal temperature (°c)
brown bottle\t20\t28
clear bottle\t20\t24
which statement is correct?
thermal energy was transferred more slowly into the brown bottle.
thermal energy was transferred more slowly into the clear bottle.
thermal energy was transferred into both bottles at the same rate.

Explanation:

1. Calculate temperature change for each bottle:

• Brown bottle: \( 28 - 20 = 8^\circ\text{C} \) over 25 minutes.
• Clear bottle: \( 24 - 20 = 4^\circ\text{C} \) over 25 minutes.

1. A smaller temperature change in the same time means slower thermal energy transfer. The clear bottle had a smaller temperature increase, so thermal energy transferred more slowly into it.

Answer:

Thermal energy was transferred more slowly into the clear bottle.
