Question 20

Four identical containers each hold the same quantity of soup at the same initial temperature. The containers are left in the same surroundings for 20 minutes.

Containers P and Q use the same insulating material, but Q has a thicker layer of insulation. Containers R and S have insulation of the same thickness, but the material around R has a lower thermal conductivity than the material around S.

Which statement predicts the temperature changes correctly?

[1]
A

P has a smaller temperature decrease than Q, and S has a smaller temperature decrease than R.

B

P has a smaller temperature decrease than Q, and R has a smaller temperature decrease than S.

C

Q has a smaller temperature decrease than P, and S has a smaller temperature decrease than R.

D

Q has a smaller temperature decrease than P, and R has a smaller temperature decrease than S.
