Question
**Thermal Equilibrium in Thermodynamic Systems** When two systems with different temperatures and thermal energy are in thermal contact, they interact in order to reach a mutual state of thermal equilibrium. **Interactive Exercise:** Fill in the blanks to complete the statement: "Two systems with different temperature and thermal energy are in thermal contact. The systems exchange [ Select ] to equilibrate [ Select ]." Available Options: - Temperature - Thermal energy Choose the correct terms from the drop-down menus. **Explanation:** - The systems will exchange **thermal energy**, as temperature itself is a measure of the thermal energy within a system. - The goal is to **equilibrate temperature**, meaning that both systems will ultimately reach the same temperature. This interaction is in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics, which states that energy spontaneously tends to flow from a body at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature, and that equilibrium is reached when the temperatures of the interacting bodies are equal.
