Jordan places a hot spoon into a container of ice cream. How does this help him scoop out the ice cream? 1 The coolness from the ice cream is conducted to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.

2 The warmth of the spoon is conducted to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.

3 The coolness from the ice cream is radiated to the spoon making it easier to scoop out.

4 The warmth of the spoon is radiated to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.

Option 2:

The warmth of the spoon is conducted to the ice cream making it easier to scoop out.

Explanation:

Conduction refers to the transfer of heat from a hotter body to a cooler one, by virtue of physical contact between the two bodies. This is opposed to radiation, where there does not need to be any contact between the two bodies before heat con flow.

The warm spoon, once it has physical contact with the cool ice cream, it loses some of its heat to the ice cream, warming it up, making it easier to scoop up.

we can conclude that the melting point of table salt is above room temperature (it's actually 801 deg c). the melting point of mercury must be below room temperature (- 39 deg c).
