A student takes the temperature of a bottle of liquid water and a tub filled with ice. The student then places the bottle of liquid water into the tub of ice. After 15 minutes, which of the follow best describes what happens to the temperature of each? (1 point) Responses Both the bottle and the ice stay the same temperature Both the bottle and the ice stay the same temperature The temperature of both the ice and water decrease. The temperature of both the ice and water decrease. The temperature of the ice decreases, while the temperature of the water increases The temperature of the ice decreases, while the temperature of the water increases The temperature of the ice increases, while the temperature of the water decreases

Answer 1

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

Here's why: When the bottle of water (which is at a higher temperature) is placed in the ice (which is at a lower temperature), heat will transfer from the water to the 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, causing it to melt and warm up.
