The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the direction of heat flow between two bodies A and B based on their temperatures. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Temperatures**: - Temperature of A, \( T_A = 100^\circ C \) - Temperature of B, \( T_B = 250 \, K \) 2. **Convert Temperature of A to Kelvin**: - To compare the temperatures, we need to convert the temperature of A from Celsius to Kelvin. - The conversion formula is: \[ T(K) = T(°C) + 273 \] - Applying this to A: \[ T_A = 100 + 273 = 373 \, K \] 3. **Compare the Temperatures**: - Now we have: - \( T_A = 373 \, K \) - \( T_B = 250 \, K \) - Since \( T_A > T_B \), we can conclude that the temperature of A is higher than that of B. 4. **Determine the Direction of Heat Flow**: - According to the second law of thermodynamics, heat flows from a body at a higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature. - Therefore, heat will flow from A to B. 5. **Conclusion**: - The heat will flow from body A (373 K) to body B (250 K). ### Final Answer: Heat flows from A to B. ---
