A beaker with water and the surrounding air are all at 24°C. After ice cubes are placed in the water, heat is transferred from:

1. the ice cubes to the air
2. the beaker to the air
3. the water to the ice cubes
4. the water to the beaker

The answer is (3) the water to ice cubes.
As the ice cubes should be at a temperature of about 0 degree ( freezing point) , at the same time the temperature of water is 24 degree. Thus, heat is transferred from water to ice cubes.

(3) the water to the ice cubes This is so because the ice cubes are colder compared to their surrounding objects. They absorb the heat from the water, cooling it, therefore vanishing(melting).

Heat is transferred from the water to the ice cubes, as the warmer water loses heat to the ice, allowing it to melt. This transfer continues until thermal equilibrium is reached. Therefore, the correct answer is (3) the water to the ice cubes.
