A piece of Fe(s) at 25°C is placed into H2O(l) at 75°C in an insulated container. A student predicts that when thermal equilibrium is reached, the Fe atoms, being more massive than the H2O molecules, will have a higher average kinetic energy than the H2O molecules. Which of the following best explains why the student's prediction is incorrect?
At thermal equilibrium, the average kinetic energy of the Fe atoms cannot be greater than that of the H2O molecules; the average kinetic energies must be the same according to the definition of thermal equilibrium.

The student predicts that the temperature will continue to decrease then level out to a constant temperature. Which of the following best explains why the student's prediction is correct?
Once all of the H2OH2O molecules are in the liquid phase, the individual molecular speeds either increase or decrease until all the particles have the same speed.
In the spring, blossoms on cherry trees can be damaged when temperatures fall below −2°C−2°C. When the forecast calls for air temperatures to be below −5°C−5°C for a few hours one night, a farmer sprays his blossoming cherry trees with water, claiming that the blossoms will be protected by the water as it freezes. Which of the following is a correct scientific justification for spraying water on the blossoms to protect them from temperatures below −2°C−2°C?
The freezing of water is an exothermic process; thus, water that freezes on the blossoms releases heat to keep the blossoms at or above −2°C−2°C.
For a classroom demonstration, a chemistry teacher puts samples of two different pure solid powders in a beaker. The teacher places the beaker on a small wooden board with a wet surface, then stirs the contents of the beaker. After a short time the students observe that the bottom of the beaker is frozen to the wood surface. The teacher asks the students to make a claim about the observation and to justify their claims. Which of the following is the best claim and justification based on the students' observation?
An endothermic chemical change occurred because the temperature of the beaker and the water on the board decreased as heat was absorbed by the reaction.
