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

Answer 1

Based on the data provided in the table, you can analyze how the amount of ice added affects the final temperature of the water samples.

Looking at the results:

• Sample 1: 60 g of ice added – final temperature changes from 20.2°C to 16.0°C
• Sample 2: 59.9 g of ice added – final temperature changes from 48.1°C to 44.2°C
• Sample 3: 71.1 g of ice added – final temperature changes from 6.1°C to 1.0°C
• Sample 4: 122.6 g of ice added – final temperature changes from 14.6°C to 3.3°C

From this, you can see that as the amount of ice added increases, the final temperature tends to decrease significantly.

Thus, the best conclusion from the provided options is:

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

This conclusion correlates with the observed data that demonstrates a greater decrease in temperature with a larger amount of ice added.
