A student adds ice to several samples of water. The results are shown in the table. Which conclusion can be drawn from the results

1 answer

To draw a conclusion from the results shown in a table about adding ice to several samples of water, I would need to see the data contained within the table. Generally, here are some conclusions that might be made based on typical results from experiments involving adding ice to water:

  1. Change in Temperature: If the table shows a decrease in temperature, it could be concluded that adding ice to water lowers the temperature of the water sample.

  2. State Change: If the results indicate that the water remains in a liquid state while the ice is present, one might conclude that ice melting occurs without the water reaching freezing temperatures.

  3. Thermal Equilibrium: If the results show that all samples reach the same temperature after some time, we could conclude that the law of thermal equilibrium is at play, where warmer water loses heat to the colder ice until they reach the same temperature.

  4. Cooling Rate: If different samples have various volumes or temperatures, a conclusion might be drawn regarding the relationship between the volume of water, the initial temperature, and the cooling rate when ice is added.

Please provide the contents of the table or summarize the findings so I can help you analyze them more specifically!
