•
Both the bottle and the ice stay the same temperature
The temperature of both the ice and water decrease.
The temperature of the ice increases, while the temperature of the water decreases
The temperature of the ice decreases, while the temperature of the water increases

Answer 1

The correct option is: The temperature of the ice increases, while the temperature of the water decreases.

When the bottle of liquid water is placed into the tub of ice, heat will flow from the warmer water to the colder ice. As a result, the temperature of the water will decrease as it loses heat, while the temperature of the ice will increase as it absorbs heat, potentially causing some of the ice to melt.
