A student adds ice to several samples of water. 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 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 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.
1 answer
Based on the data presented in the table, the conclusion that can be drawn is:
As the amount of ice added increases, the change in temperature increases.
This is supported by observing that in samples where more ice was added (such as samples 3 and 4), the final temperatures were significantly lower compared to samples with less ice added. Additionally, the larger amounts of ice correspond with larger changes in temperature.
