Solution

The absorbance of the drink is likely to decrease after the ice has melted. This is because the melting ice will dilute the drink, reducing the concentration of the blue raspberry flavoring that gives the drink its color. Absorbance is directly related to concentration according to Beer's Law (A=εlc), where A is absorbance, ε is the molar absorptivity, l is the path length, and c is the concentration. Therefore, a decrease in concentration will result in a decrease in absorbance.

A student had a glass of water at 25°C. He put some ice in it. Once the ice melted, he found that the water's temperature had decreased to 18°C.The student puts the same amount of water at 25°C into another glass. He then adds more ice to this glass than he had added to the first glass. Which statement correctly explains what will happen after the ice melts? A. The water will be colder than 18°C because more thermal energy would have been added to it. B. The water will be warmer than 18°C because it would have received more heat from the ice. C. The water will be warmer than 18°C because melting would have taken place for a longer time. D. The water will be colder than 18°C because more heat would have flowed from it to the ice.
