An electric ice maker also uses electrical energy, but it freezes water to form ice. Since energy can’t be created or destroyed, and water loses potential energy when it freezes to form ice, what happens to the energy put into the ice maker and the energy released by the water?

Astudent pours 10.0 g of salt into a container of water and observes the amount of time it takes for the salt to dissolve. she then repeats the process using the same amounts of salt and water but this time she slowly stirs the mixture while it is dissolving. the student performs the experiment one more time but this time she stirs the mixture rapidly. the dependent variable in this experiment is: time for salt to dissolve speed of stirring amount of water mass of salt
