Question

What happens when a mixture is cooled (heat is released)? a) The temperature of the mixture increases b) The temperature of the mixture remains constant c) The temperature of the mixture decreases d) The temperature of the mixture becomes unpredictable

Answer 1

c) The temperature of the mixture decreases

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the energy in a system. If the specific heat of the substance is known, as well as the energy released, the temperature change can be calculated. Since energy is removed, the temperature will drop.
