What happens when matter at a higher temperature touches matter at a lower temperature?

The colder matter absorbs the heat (thermal energy) from the hotter matter. Heat continues to "flow" until all of the matters is at about the same temperature. This is a fundamental law of thermodynamics; heat travels from where it's hotter to where it's colder.

Which will bake faster cookies at A. 50 degrees Celsius or at B. 150 degree Celsius?
150oC It is simply a matter of being at a higher temperature.
What is Bromine state of Matter at room temperature?
Bromine is in its liquid state of matter at room temperature.
What is the lowest temperature and what happens at that temperature?
The lowest temperature is known as absolute zero which is equal to 0K (0 Kelvin) and -273.15 Celsius (-459.67F). Absolute zero has never been recorded but is the theoretical temperature of which no heat can be extracted from a system. It is theoretical because at 0K matter would have no pressure and therefore no volume.
What is oxegens state of matter at room temperature?
At normal room temperature, oxygen is a gas.
What state of matter is iodine at room temperature?
At room temperature iodine is a solid halogen.
What happens to matter when its temperature decreases?
Thermal Contraction
Does water when cooled turn into water vapor?
Water can evaporate no matter what temperature it is. It has a higher rate of vaporization at higher temperature however.
What is the effect of temperature on particles of matter?
Temperature is a measure of the micro-kinetic energy of matter, the vibrational energy of the atoms or molecules making up the matter. The more energetic the vibration the higher the temperature.
When thermal energy is removed from matter what happens to its temperature'?
it is hot temperature but when thermal energy leaves the temperature is cool
When matter absorbs heat what is its temperature?
thee temperature goes higher because when it absorbs heat,the temperature goes hotter :)
What is an example of matter at a higher temperature touching matter at a lower temperature?
Just one exmple of matter at a higher temperature touching matter at a lower temperature is soldering. If we apply a hot soldering iron to solder and copper when making something out of stained glass, the hot soldering iron transfers heat (thermal energy) to the solder and copper (thus melting the solder and causing allowing it to flow).
Where does the sun convert matter into energhy?
This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.
What happens to the range of the particles in matter when the temperature is increased?
the range of energies becomes broader
What happens to the range of energies of particles in matter when the temperature is increased?
the range of energies becomes broader
What happens to the range to energies of the particles in matter when the temperature is increase?
the range of energies becomes broader
Does molecules of matter begin to move when heat is present?
Molecules are always moving unless there temperature is absolute zero..they move faster the higher the temperature
What matter of oil is?
Oil is a liquid type of matter. The oils that are solid have higher saturated fat. Solid room temperature oils include coconut oil.
