Two metal blocks that have slightly different temperatures are placed next to one another. after five minutes, they both have lower but equal temperatures. according to the law of conservation of energy, what  most likelyhappened? energy was created inside the blocks.energy was destroyed inside the blocks.energy was absorbed into the blocks from outside the system.energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, what happens to a liquid when it is transferred from one container to another? the volume and the shape stay the same. the volume increases to fill the new container, but the shape stays the same. the volume stays the same, but the shape changes to fit the new container. the volume and the shape change to fill the new container.

How many liters of ethylene glycol antifreeze (c2h6o2), with a density of 1.100 g/l, would you add to your car radiator containing 15.0 kg of water if you needed to protect your engine to - 21.5°c? for water, kf = 1.86°c m -1.
