Question

The teachers added about 40 - 50 mL of ice water to the round container. The container is made of 1/8 inch thick cast iron. A lid was put on the container and tightened. The round cast iron container is placed in a metal dish that contains about 200 mL of a dry ice and acetone

what's the claim,evidence and reasoning for it

Answer 1

Claim: The round cast iron container filled with ice water and sealed with a lid will maintain its temperature for a certain period of time.

Evidence: The container is made of 1/8 inch thick cast iron and the lid is tightened to prevent heat loss. The container is placed in a metal dish that contains dry ice and acetone which will help to decrease the temperature inside the container.

Reasoning: The cast iron container is a good insulator which means it will slow down the transfer of heat from the inside to the outside. The lid will help to prevent heat loss through convection. The dry ice and acetone in the metal dish will provide a cooling effect to the container, which will help to keep the temperature inside the container low for a longer period of time. The combination of insulation and cooling will help to maintain the low temperature inside the container for a certain period of time.
