Use the table to answer the question. Cup Number Ice Added (grams) 1 22.1 2 105.3 3 19.0 4 58.0 A student adds ice to four identical cups of water. The mass of ice added is shown in the table. Which cup will have the greatest change in temperature? 3 1 2 4
To determine which cup will have the greatest change in temperature, we need to calculate the difference in mass of ice added between cups.
The difference in mass of ice added between cups can be found by subtracting the mass of ice added in the previous cup from the mass of ice added in the current cup.
Difference in mass of ice added between cups:
Cup 2 - Cup 1: 105.3g - 22.1g = 83.2g
Cup 3 - Cup 2: 19.0g - 105.3g = -86.3g
Cup 4 - Cup 3: 58.0g - 19.0g = 39.0g
When comparing the differences in mass of ice added, we can see that Cup 2 has the greatest change with 83.2 grams of ice added. Therefore, Cup 2 will have the greatest change in temperature.
