Problem: Which of the following statements is a valid conclusion to this experiment? Explain your reasoning for choosing a certain statement.
a. Hot water molecules don't move faster than cold water molecules. No deGas
b. Hot water often contains more dissolved minerals than cold water, so dissolved minerals must help water freeze faster.
c. Cold water can hold more dissolved oxygen than hot water, so dissolved oxygen must slow down the rate at which water freezes.
d. The temperature of water affects the rate at which it freezes.
e. The faster the water molecules are moving, the faster they can arrange themselves into the nice, neat patterns that are found in solid ice cubes.
