If you could have perfect heat transfer between the two objects (which of course you can't have), then that would be the case, the loss of temp in one would be equal to the temp gain in the other.

I believe it is called thermal equilibrium.

When there's a temperature difference between two objects, heat is transferred from the hotter object to the cooler one. What is the name for the state reached when they are both at the same temperature?

Temperature to which air must be cooled to reach saturation?
The temperature to which air must be cooled to reach saturation is called the dew point.
Where does soda lime glass come from?
Soda lime glass is made by melting the component ingredients in a glass furnace. The temperatures in the furnace can reach 1675 degrees Celsius.
Heat will flow from a hot object to a cold object until the objects reach what?
In a closed system, yes. Both objects will be at the same thermal energy level, and neither will be able to release any to the other. In the real world, this is not the case, heat would continue to dissipate until the object reaches the same thermal energy level as the air around it, approximately.
What happens to the color of the FeCl2 when the equivalence point is reached?
FeCI2 is a combination of iron and hydrochloride. This solution starts out as a yellowish green color. When the equivalence point is reach the solution turns to an orange brown color.
Why do people use alcohol in thermometers instead of water?
Firstly, mercury has a freezing point of about -38Co. So a mercury thermometer cannot be used below this. Alcohols have a much lower freezing point, some around -100Co . Thus they are useful at much lower temperatures. Though alcohols are usually colourless, they can easily be dyed, usually red or blue. Alcohols however have lower boiling points, and this limits the maximum temperature at which they may be used.
When you reach the temperatures of the point you become a liquid?
melting point. :)
At what point does a gas become a liquid?
Boiling Point. Different substances reach this point at different pressures and temperatures.
How thermal energy travel?
Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.
When two objects at different temperature make contact what happens?
When two objects at different temperatures make contact, thermal energy tends to flow from the hotter object to the cooler object. This transfer of heat continues until the two objects reach thermal equilibrium, meaning they reach the same temperature.
Rising warm air transports heat energy by?
Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.
In order for a liquid to become a gas does it have to reach 100 degrees celsius?
It has to reach its boiling point. That's 100 degrees Celsius for water (under normal conditions), but different temperatures for different liquids.
Which method of heat transfer can take if two object at different temperatures are placed without touching each other in a vacuum?
Laws of Thermodynamics and Equilibria. Each object wishes to reach equilibrium with atmosphere. One gives off heat, the other absorbs it (until both objects and the atmosphere in the vacuum are the same temperature). Process of heat transfer achieved through Radiation.
What is the highest the temperatures in the thermosphere reach?

What temperature does sandstone melt at?
Sandstones are very different and don't have a definite melting point.

Are most metals solid?
At normal temperatures, yes, but all metals will liquify if they reach their melting point. Mercury is the only known metal that is a liquid at room temperature.
