A five centavo coin is heated to a glow. Then it is placed hanging right on top of the surface of acetone in a beaker. While hanging, the coin keeps glowing. Why is this so?

a.Heat coming from the acetone is transferred to the coin causing it to glow.

b.The thermal energy of the acetone is transferred to the beaker then to the coin.

c.The five centavo coin is just so hot that it will continue to glow until it gets cold.

d.As it evaporates, acetone fumes hit the hot coin. The heat coming from the coin vaporizes the acetone molecules in the fumes, thus letting us see a glow.
