The correct option is B, ranking the liquids by increasing thermal energy as oil; milk; water after converting all temperatures to Kelvin, with oil at 250.0 K, water at 366.48 K, and milk at 371.15 K.
Step-by-step explanation:
To rank the temperatures of the three liquids (water, oil, and milk) by increasing thermal energy, we must first have all temperatures in the same unit for an accurate comparison. Water is at 200.0°F, oil is at 250.0 K, and milk is at 98.00°C. Converting all temperatures to Kelvin (the SI unit for temperature), we get the following:
Water: 200.0°F = 366.48 K
Oil: 250.0 K (already in Kelvin)
Milk: 98.00°C = 371.15 K
Now, ranking these temperatures from lowest to highest in Kelvin, we get: oil (250.0 K), water (366.48 K), and milk (371.15 K). Therefore, the correct answer is option B, which ranks the liquids from left to right by increasing thermal energy as oil; milk; water.
