Question

Your science class decides to conduct an experiment to learn more about ice. You set one ice cube on the counter at room temperature, and another, same-sized ice cube in the class refrigerator. You predict that since it is warmer on the counter at room temperature, the ice cube on the counter will melt faster. What result would confirm this prediction? A)When the counter ice cube is melted, the refrigerator ice cube is not finished melting. B)When the counter ice cube is melted, the refrigerator ice cube is also finished melting. C)When the counter ice cube is not quite melted, the refrigerator ice cube is finished melting. D)When the counter ice cube is not quite melted, the refrigerator ice cube is not finished melting.

Answer 1

This would be A. If the counter cube is finished while the refrigerator isn't, that confirms the hypothesis.

Answer 2

A) When the counter ice is melted, the refrigerator ice cube is not finished melting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the varying temperatures, the temperature on the counter at room temperature is higher than that in the refrigerator and as such, the counter ice cube will melt faster than the refrigerator ice cube.

The refrigerator ice cube will also melt, but at a very slow rate compared to the counter ice cube, therefore, when the counter cube is completely melted, the refrigerator ice cube is not finished melting.
