Choose the correct statement regarding the behavior of water. Group of answer choicesThe heat capacity of liquid water is greater than the heat capacity of solid ice. The water phase with the smallest temperature increase when adding 10 kcal of heat is solid ice. Ice has a higher density than liquid water and therefore sinks. The water phase with the smallest temperature increase when adding 10 kcal of heat is gas vapor. The heat capacity of gas vapor is greater than the heat capacity of liquid water.

The water phase with the smallest temperature increase when adding 10 kcal of heat is solid ice.

Explanation:

The rest of the statements are incorrect. The density of ice is lower than the density of water. The heat capacity of solid ice is greater almost twice the heat capacity of the liquid water. The heat capacity of vapors is less than heat capacity of liquid.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error
