Question 15
Original source text (the original panel preserves all diagram labels, tables and choices):
There are three containers containing 1 L of water with varying temperatures. Hot
water (60 °C) of varying volume is then added to each container, but with different
volumes.
After the addition of hot water, each container has the same final temperature of
40 °C. If the containers are assumed to have no heat absorption and release, what
is the correct conclusion from this information?
A. The initial temperature of the water in container 2 is the smallest.
B. The initial temperature of the water in container 3 is the greatest.
C. The initial temperature of the water in container 2 is less than that of
container 3.
D. The initial temperature of the water in container 3 is greater than that of
container 2.
