To determine which cup will have the greatest change in temperature, we can use the principle of heat transfer: the more ice added, the more heat the water will lose, leading to a greater change in temperature.

From the table, we can see the amount of ice added to each cup:

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

Since Cup 2 has the highest mass of ice added at 105.3 grams, it will have the greatest change in temperature due to the larger amount of heat absorbed by the ice melting.

Thus, the correct response is:
