Answer:
Smallest drop: Water
Largest drop: Dirt
Explanation:
The heat needed to change the temperature of a sample is:
(1)
with Q the heat (added(+) or removed(-)), c specific heat, m the mass and
the change in temperature of the sample. So, if we solve (1) for
Sample A:


Sample B:


Sample C:


Note that the numbers 16744, 5400, 9450 are in the denominator of the expression
that gives the drop on temperature. so, if Q is the same for the three samples the smallest denominator gives the largest drop and vice versa.
So, the smallest drop is Sample A and the largest is Sample C.
(Important: The minus sign of
implies the temperature is dropping)
Many ecosystems and plants are damaged or destroyed when a volcano erupts.
