Answer 1

When the ice cream is placed on the metal surface at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius), heat transfer occurs due to the difference in temperature between the cooler ice cream and the warmer metal surface.

The correct response is:

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

This happens because the metal surface is at a higher temperature than the ice cream, causing heat to flow from the metal to the ice cream, which results in the melting of the ice cream.
