Question
Jasmine adds varying amounts of ice to samples of water. Which conclusion can she draw from her experiment?(1 point)
Responses

As ice added decreases, the water temperature decreases.
As ice added decreases, the water temperature decreases.

As water temperature decreases, the water molecules’ kinetic energy increases.​​​​​​​
As water temperature decreases, the water molecules’ kinetic energy increases. ​​​​​​​

As water temperature increases, the water molecules’ kinetic energy decreases.
As water temperature increases, the water molecules’ kinetic energy decreases.

As ice added increases, the change in water temperature increases.

Answer 1

Based on the context of Jasmine's experiment with ice and water, the most appropriate conclusion she can draw is:

As ice added increases, the change in water temperature increases.

This conclusion makes sense because adding ice to water typically causes the water temperature to decrease as the ice absorbs heat from the water to melt. Therefore, as she adds more ice (increasing the amount), she would expect to see a greater decrease in the water temperature.
