Question

Beaker A contains hot water. Beaker B contains cold water. Beaker C contains a mixture of hot and cold water. If initially your hand is put into a beaker containing ice, then putting your hand in which of the beakers A, B or C will give a sensation of warmth?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

We know that ice is solid form of water which is at 0${}^{\circ }$C . And all other forms given in question are liquid forms and all liquid forms are above melting point of water that is 0${}^{\circ }$C. So compared to ice all beakers are comparatively at higher temperature and will give sensation of warmth to our hand when we put our hand in any of these beakers after putting it in ice because they are at higher temperature than ice.
