If ice is added to a large fish tank and a small fish bowl, both at the same termperature, the large fish tank's water will cool faster because there is more water.

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

When a object is touching a surface, it mostly likely will change the temperature it's on, depending on how it is. Since they both have different temperatures and cooling down at the same particularity rates, it is highly false that this would happen. What WOULD would the bowl cool faster THAN the water, then the ice will transform into water.

Hope this helps and make sure to thank me!

false
because the smaller bowl of water has less volume to cool off with the ice than the large fish tank
