Question

a student designed an experiment to show how water is recycled through the atmosphere. which of these is least likely to be a part of the experiment? a burner to heat water. a beaker in which water is boiled. a cup of ice cubes to cool the water. a cold glass plate on which water vapor condenses.

Answer 1

a cup of ice cubes to cool the water.

Answer 2

The answer is - a cup of ice cubes to cool the water.

Explanation:

The thing that is least likely to be a part of the experiment is - a cup of ice cubes to cool the water.

A burner to heat water and a beaker in which water is boiled. These are essential as warming water will result in generating vapor. And these vapors can be condensed on a cold glass plate, as water vapor condenses easily on cold surfaces.

So, the unusable thing here is - a cup of ice cubes to cool the water.
