Use the table to answer the question. Cup Number Ice Added (grams) 1 22.1 2 105.3 3 19.0 4 58.0 A student adds ice to four identical cups of water. The mass of ice added is shown in the table. Which cup will have the greatest change in temperature? (1 point) Responses 3 3 4 4 2 2 1

Answer 1

To determine which cup will have the greatest change in temperature, we can use the concept of heat transfer and specific heat. The greater the mass of ice added to a cup, the more heat it will absorb from the water, leading to a larger change in temperature of the water in that cup.

From 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 highest mass of ice added (105.3 grams). Therefore, it will have the greatest change in temperature because it can absorb the most heat from the water.

The answer is Cup 2.
