2. In the morning, a student puts a warm can of soda in a cooler filled with ice. He closes the cooler. At lunch, the can of soda is colder. What happened to the total amount of energy in the cooler containing the can of soda and the ice? (Assume that no energy is transferred into or out of the cooler when it is closed.)

basically all of the molecules in the can of soda started to stop moving due to the compression and change of temperature. the ice had frozen the molecules and which then made the can of soda nice and cold lol

Answer: Heat Transfer

Step-by-step explanation:

The heat energy transfers to the ice slowing the molecules in the soda down. This in term warms the ice causing it to melt a tint faster.
