The results are shown in the table. Which conclusion can be drawn from the results? (1 point) Responses As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases. As the temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of the sample increases. 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 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.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

From the given data and options, the most reasonable conclusion that can be drawn is:

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

This conclusion is supported by the data in the table, where higher amounts of ice seem to produce a larger decrease in temperature. For example, in sample 4, the highest amount of ice (122.6 grams) results in a significant drop in temperature from 14.6°C to 3.3°C, compared to the other samples with less ice.

The other options provided do not correctly reflect the relationships observed in the table.
