Responses

As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.
As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.

As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.
As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases.

As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
As the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases.

Answer 1

Based on the provided data in the table, the correct conclusion is:

As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.

This conclusion is drawn from observing that samples with more added ice tend to have a greater decrease in temperature, indicating that the introduction of ice absorbs heat from the water, leading to a larger temperature change.
