A student adds ice to several samples of water. The results are shown in the table. Which conclusion can be drawn from the results?
(1 point)
• As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
• As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.
• As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.
• As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases.

Answer 1

The correct conclusion that can be drawn from the results is: As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.
