Question: Consider an isolated system composed of two thermodynamic system components, A and B , in thermal contact and each at different initial temperatures and T

Consider an isolated system composed of two thermodynamic system components, A and B, in thermal contact and each at different initial temperatures and Ti,B). The nonzero heat (q) transferred into or out of each system can be related across the systems by:
qA=-qB
where each heat transfer can be expressed as:
qA=mA*Cs,A*TA and qB=mB*Cs,B*TB
In the above expressions, mx is the mass of system component x(where x=A or B),Cs,x is the specific heat capacity of component x, and Tx is the temperature change from the initial conditions to thermal equilibrium for component x. Note that Tx=Tf,x-Ti,x where f and i indicate the final and initial temperatures of component x, respectively.
Label each of the following mathematical statements as true or false given qA=-qB,qx=mx*Cs,x*Tx, and Tx=Tf,x-Ti,x are true.
(1)mA*Cs,A*TA=-mB*Cs,B*TB
(2)qA=-mB*Cs,B*TB, choose your answer... vv
(3)mA*Cs,A*(Tf,A-Ti,A)=-mB*Cs,B*(Tf,B-Ti,B)
(4)-TA*Cs,A*mA=Cs,B*mB*TB
(5)mA*Cs,A*Tf,A-mA*Cs,A*Ti,A=-mB*Cs,B*Tf,B+mB*Cs,B*Ti,B, choose your answer... vv
(6)mA*Cs,A*Tf,A+mB*Cs,B*Tf,B=mA*Cs,A*Ti,A+mB*Cs,B*Ti,B, choose your answer...
