Question 33

A technician is choosing a solid to dissolve in water to make a cooling bath. She dissolves a weighed sample of each of four solids, J, K, L and M, in 50 cm350\,\mathrm{cm^{3}}50cm3 of water in a polystyrene cup and records the temperature change. Every sample dissolves completely.

SolidMass of solid (g)Temperature change (∘C^\circ\mathrm{C}∘C)
J5.0-6.5
K8.0-12.0
L4.0+5.2
M12.0-16.8

Which conclusion about the results is correct?

[1]
A

Solid J gives a bigger temperature decrease per gram than solid K.

B

Solid M gives the biggest temperature decrease per gram of the four solids.

C

Solid K gives a bigger temperature decrease per gram than solid M.

D

Solid L takes in energy from the surroundings as it dissolves.
