Angie mixes the fertilizer for her plants at the beginning of the week. She puts 40 g of the fertilizer-water solution in each of seven closed containers and uses one container each day to water her plant.

Question

One day, she goes outside to get a container and finds that the solution in it is frozen. How much mass should the frozen solution in the container have?
A.
20 g
B.
40 g
C.
10 g
D.
0 g

Answer 1

The mass of the frozen solution in the container should be the same as the mass of the solution that was originally placed in it. Since Angie put 40 g of the fertilizer-water solution in each container, the frozen solution would also have a mass of 40 g.

Therefore, the correct answer is: B. 40 g
