The average kinetic energy of water molecules is directly related to the temperature of the samples. Therefore, to order the samples from greatest to least average kinetic energy, you can simply look at their temperatures:
- Sample M: 88°C
- Sample L: 40°C
- Sample N: 21°C
Ordering these from greatest to least temperature gives us: M (88°C), L (40°C), N (21°C).
Thus, the correct answer is **B. M, L, N**.
- Sample M: 88°C
- Sample L: 40°C
- Sample N: 21°C
Ordering these from greatest to least temperature gives us: M (88°C), L (40°C), N (21°C).
Thus, the correct answer is **B. M, L, N**.
