Students in Mr. Jackson's class built two containers designed to keep Ice pops cold for a
penod of time. Both containers had the same dimensions, but were constructed from
diferent materials. They put one Ice pop in each container, kept the surrounding
temperature constant, and measured how long it took for each ice pop to melt. The table
shows their results.
Container Time it took the Ice Pop to Melt (min)
1-25
2-32
Which container was most likely made with a material that had a low specific heat?
A. Container 1 because it took the shortest amount of time for the ice pop to melt, and
materials with low specific heat are poor Insulators
B. Container 1 because it took the shortest amount of time for the Ice pop to melt, and
materials with low specific heat are good Insulators
C. Container 2 because it took the longest amount of time for the Ice pop to melt, and
materials with low specific heat are poor insulators
D. Container 2 because it took the longest amount of time for the ice pop to melt, and
materials with low specific heat are good insulators
