Question

Colton has an ice cube that has a mass of 4 grams. He places it in a sealed container and then puts it in the microwave on high. The ice cube melts after a few seconds. He removes the sealed container with the melted ice cube and checks the mass again.

Which sentence best describes what Colton discovers?

A) The mass of the melted ice cube was less than 4 grams.

B) The mass of the melted ice cube was more than 4 grams.

C) The mass of the melted ice cube could not be determined.

D) The mass of the melted ice cube remained the same at 4 grams.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D.

The reason is because mass cannot be destroyed. All the mass can really do is become more of less dense.
