Consider two blocks of copper. Block A contains 600 atoms and initially has a total of 20 quanta of energy. Block B


contains 400 atoms and initially has 80 quanta of energy. The two blocks are placed in contact with each other, inside an


insulated container (so no thermal energy can be exchanged with the surroundings). After waiting for a long time (for


example, an hour), which of the following would you expect to be true?


(A) Approximately 60 quanta of energy are in block A, and approximately 40 quanta of energy are in block B.


(B) Approximately 50 quanta of energy are in block A, and approximately 50 quanta of energy are in block B.


(C) The entropy of block A is equal to the entropy of block B.


(D) The temperature of block A and the temperature of block B are equal.
