As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.
As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.

As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.
As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.

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

As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases.
As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases.

Answer 1

Based on the data provided in the table, we can analyze the relationship between the amount of ice added and the temperature change of the water. Here's a summary of the results:

• Each sample starts with a different initial temperature and ends with a lower final temperature after ice is added.
• The amount of ice added varies, but generally, as more ice is added, the final temperatures decrease more significantly.

From the options given, the conclusion that aligns with the observations is:

As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.

This conclusion reflects the idea that adding more ice (which absorbs heat and decreases temperature) results in a greater change in temperature for the water samples.
