Using insulate gloves, Ms. Sanders transferred a few pieces of dry ice to a flask and covered it with a balloon. After a few minutes the students observed the balloon starting to inflate. Explain what was happening in the flask and balloon to cause it to inflate. Pick the statement that DOES NOT apply to the changes. A) The dry ice changed from a solid to a gas at room temperature.
B) The carbon dioxide gas had more kinetic energy than the solid carbon dioxide.
C) Rapidly moving carbon dioxide gas molecules moved into the balloon and inflated it.
D) As the temperer increased, the solid carbon dioxide changed phase: solid - liquid - gas.
