Answer 1

When the ice cream is placed on the metal surface at a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, the heat will be transferred from the metal surface to the ice cream. This is because the metal surface is warmer than the ice cream, prompting heat to flow from the warmer object (the metal) to the cooler object (the ice cream). As a result, the ice cream will absorb this heat and melt.

Therefore, the correct response is:

Heat is transferred from the metal surface to the ice cream, and the ice cream melts.
