Juan is conducting an experiment to see what occurs when a mystery substance is added to water. He measures out 250 ml of water in four beakers. Juan then measures out four different amounts of the mystery substance (4g, 8g, 12g, 16g). After waiting for the water and the substance to get to room temperature, 20 degrees Celsius, Juan adds the different amounts of substance to the different beakers and takes the new temperature of each. What is the starting temperature before a chemical reaction takes place? - 8 ° Celsius - 12 ° Celsius - 16 ° Celsius - 18 ° Celsius Hint: Write on your picture!
