PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS ONE QUESTION Two substances of different temperatures are brought into thermal contact. While the objects come to equilibrium, some heat is lost to the environment. How would that affect the final temperature?

A) it would be higher

B) it would change unpredictably

C) it would remain the same

D) it would be lower

the correct  is D

Explanation:

In the calorimetry exercises, if there are no losses, we assume that all the heat lost by one body is absorbed by the other, but if there are losses

         Q_ {yielded} = Q_ {absent} + Q_ {lost}

Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, they only ask to change, therefore the term of the absorbed heat must decrease, consequently the final temperature of the system is lower when there is loss of energy.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D
