Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

Two cold metal containers X and Y each contain the same mass of hot water at the same initial temperature. Both containers are well insulated. Container X has a larger thermal capacity than container Y. Compare the final temperatures of the water in X and in Y.

  • AThe temperature in X is higher than in Y.
  • BThe temperature in X is lower than in Y.
  • CThe temperatures in X and in Y are equal but lower than the initial temperature of the water.
  • DThe temperatures in X and in Y are the same as the initial temperature of the water.
