Which statement describes the motion of the ice particles in the ice/water bath between minutes 5 and 20?

A. particle motion decreases because thermal energy is being transferred away from the ice.
B. Particle motion stays the same because the ice is not completely melted yet.
C. Particle motion stays the same because temperature does not change.
D. Particle motion increases because thermal energy is being transferred to the ice.

it is a good conductor

explanation:

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
