Question 6 • LA-Chemistry A

A bathtub is half full of warm water. How could the thermal energy of the water be increased? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Add hot water to the tub.
B
Heat the water in the tub without adding more water.
C
Add more water at the same temperature to the tub.
D
Transfer the water to a smaller container.

Explanation

Thermal energy depends on both how much water there is and its temperature. Adding hot water increases the amount of thermal energy, and heating the water raises its temperature. Adding more water at the same temperature also increases the total thermal energy because there is more water; moving it to a smaller container does not add energy.
