Question 10 • Chemistry

Eleanor wants to show her class a comparison of melting rates between two different solids when heat is applied. Why would a graph be more suitable than a table to show her data?

Answer
A
Graphs have data points with more significant figures.
B
Graphs better illustrate precise data points.
C
Graphs are better suited for numeric analysis.
D
Graphs better illustrate the comparison of two different data sets.

Explanation

A graph makes it easy to compare how the melting rates of the two solids change as heat is applied. The two sets of data can be shown together, so their differences and trends are visible at a glance. A table can list exact values, but it does not show the comparison as clearly.
