Explanation:
The molecule in the can of soda will begin to lose their kinetic energy and become more order. In short, the entropy of the molecules in the can will begin to reduce drastically.
- Since the soda in the can is at a higher temperature, there would be transfer of heat until thermal equilibrium is attained.
- In due process, the fast paced soda particles will begin to lose some of its energy to the water in the ice chest.
- This will stop until thermal equilibrium is attained.
Therefore, the molecules in the can will have a lower average kinetic energy.
