Two juice containers are in a cooler. One is plastic and one is metal. Students place a thermometer in each container. They find that the juices in the bottle and in the can are the same temperature. Why does the can feel colder than the bottle? *

The metal can holds colder juice than the plastic bottle

Plastic is a better conductor of thermal energy than metal.

Metal is a better conductor of thermal energy than plastic

The outside of the metal can is drier than the plastic bottle.

I'm pretty sure it's B. But tbh in my opinion if u really think about it all these answers could be wrong if the right answer were to be an E answer and that's answer would be because the compounds that are made up of medal attract the cold because its material compound and its connection with cold crystals. Cuz if u think about it for example I make a bowl of hot soup and then I don't eat it all my soup is in a plastic bowl and I'm using a metal spoon. I leave it in the fridge for only 5-10 minutes. I take it out but the bowl is hardly cold and the metal spoon isn't. It's freezing. All medals will become colder than all plastics because of the attraction.
