The average kinetic energy of water particles is directly related to the temperature of the water. The higher the temperature, the greater the average kinetic energy of the particles.
Looking at the temperatures from the table:
- Sample 1: 15 ºC
- Sample 2: 8 ºC
- Sample 3: 22 ºC
- Sample 4: 4 ºC
Sample 3, with a temperature of 22 ºC, has the highest temperature among the samples listed. Therefore, Sample 3 has water particles that have the greatest average kinetic energy.
The correct response is: 3
