The results are shown in the table. Which conclusion can be drawn from the results? (1 point) Responses 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. As the amount of ice added decreases, the temperature decreases. 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.

Answer 1

Based on the data provided in the table, the conclusion that can be drawn is:

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

This conclusion is supported by the fact that higher amounts of ice (as seen in the fourth sample where 122.6 grams were added) correspond to a larger temperature drop (from 14.6 °C to 3.3 °C). Similarly, the other samples where less ice was added show a smaller change in temperature.
