Which shows the temperatures of three substances, in order, from greatest to least?

water vapor, ice, water
ice, water, water vapor
water, water vapor, ice
water vapor, water, ice

1 answer

To compare the temperatures of the three substances:

  1. Ice is solid form of water and has the lowest temperature.
  2. Water is in liquid form and is at a higher temperature than ice but lower than water vapor at standard conditions.
  3. Water vapor is the gaseous state of water and typically has the highest temperature in this context.

So, when arranged from greatest to least temperature, the correct order is:

Water vapor, water, ice

Therefore, the correct choice is:

water vapor, water, ice
