To determine which conclusion is best supported by the data regarding the temperatures of four substances, we need to understand that temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. The higher the temperature, the greater the average kinetic energy.
The recorded temperatures are as follows:
- Substance W: 12°C
- Substance X: 18°C
- Substance Y: 9°C
- Substance Z: 20°C
Now, let's analyze each statement:
1. **The particles in substance W have a greater average kinetic energy than the particles in substance Z.**
- This is false because Substance W (12°C) has a lower temperature than Substance Z (20°C).
2. **The particles in substance X have a greater average kinetic energy than the particles in substance Z.**
- This is false because Substance X (18°C) has a lower temperature than Substance Z (20°C).
3. **The particles in substance W have a lower average kinetic energy than the particles in substance X.**
- This is true because Substance W (12°C) has a lower temperature than Substance X (18°C).
4. **The particles in substance Z have a lower average kinetic energy than the particles in substance Y.**
- This is false because Substance Z (20°C) has a higher temperature than Substance Y (9°C).
The best-supported conclusion by the data is: **The particles in substance W have a lower average kinetic energy than the particles in substance X.**
