Use the following table to answer the question:

Sample 1 2 3 4
Temperature 98.2 C 46.0 C 100.6C 31.4C


The following samples are all water. Other than the temperature, all the water samples are identical. Which of the four samples has the lowest particle average kinetic energy?

a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4

d. 4

Sample 4 has the lowest temperature at 31.4 degrees Celsius, which means it has the lowest average kinetic energy of particles compared to the other samples.
