A 0.085 kg Whiskey Disk™ made of soapstone[*][**] at –10° C is placed into 0.22 kg of whiskey[***] at a temperature of 25° C. Ignore the effects of evaporation and phase changes, and heat exchanged with the environment and container. Specific heat of soapstone is 98 J/(kg·°C). Specific heat of whiskey is 3,400 J/(kg·°C). After reaching thermal equilibrium, the __________ had the greatest change in temperature.
(A) 0.085 kg Whiskey Disk™.
(B) 0.22 kg of whiskey.
(C) (There is a tie.)
(D) (Not enough information is given.)

Correct answer (highlight to unhide): (A)
The transfer/energy balance equation is given by:
Qext = ∆Edisk + ∆Ewhiskey,
Qext = mdisk·cdisk·∆Tdisk + mwhiskey·cwhiskey·∆Twhiskey.
Since there are no heat exchanges with the environment or the container, the Whiskey Disk™ and the whiskey only exchange heat with each other, such that:
0 = mdisk·cdisk·∆Tdisk + mwhiskey·cwhiskey·∆Twhiskey,
–mdisk·cdisk·∆Tdisk = mwhiskey·cwhiskey·∆Twhiskey,
∆Tdisk/∆Twhiskey = –mwhiskey·cwhiskey/mdisk·cdisk,
∆Tdisk/∆Twhiskey = –((0.22 kg)·(3,400 J/(kg·°C)))/((0.085 kg)·(98 J/(kg·°C))),
∆Tdisk = –89.79591837·∆Twhiskey,
(or to two significant figures, this numerical factor is –90), which means that the ∆Tdisk increase in temperature is ninety times greater than the ∆Twhiskey decrease in temperature.
