To determine which cup will have the greatest change in temperature, we can use the principle that the greater the mass of ice added to a cup, the more heat will be absorbed from the water, leading to a larger change in temperature.

Looking at the table:

  • Cup 1: 22.1 grams of ice
  • Cup 2: 105.3 grams of ice
  • Cup 3: 19.0 grams of ice
  • Cup 4: 58.0 grams of ice

Cup 2 has the largest amount of ice added (105.3 grams). Therefore, it will absorb the most heat from the water, resulting in the greatest change in temperature.

The answer is: 2
