Physical Science Chemistry Review

Yolanda filled a beaker with water and measured its temperature as 12°C.  She then added some solid CaCl₂ and stirred until it was completely dissolved.  After 10 minutes she read the final water temperature as 24°C.  The air temperature in the room was 26°C. 
Which of the following is a possible question Yolanda   is seeking to answer:

• Does air temperature in the room affect the water temperature?
• Does adding CaCl₂ to the water affect the temperature of the water?
• Does stirring affect the solubility of CaCl₂?
• Does time affect the solubility of CaCl₂?
