In an experiment, equal amounts of heated water and soil were left to cool down. The initial and final temperatures of each were recorded. A partial record of the temperature is shown.
Experimental Record
Substance Initial Temperature Final Temperature
Water 27 °C 24 °C
Soil 27 °C ?
Which statement about the final temperature of soil is correct?
It will be less than 24 °C as soil loses heat relatively faster than water.
It will be less than 24 °C as water loses heat relatively faster than soil.
It will be more than 24 °C as it takes relatively longer to change soil temperature than water temperature.
