Question
Review the passage concerning Ivory soap. "Ivory soap floats in water due to its lower density compared to water. When placed in a microwave oven and heated for 25 seconds, Ivory soap expands and occupies the microwave space.'
What is the probable explanation for the expansion of Ivory soap when heated?
(1 point)
The air pockets within the soap become heated, prompting an increase in the quantity of soap particles.
The volume of gas within the space of the Ivory soap expands as the temperature rises.
The molecules within Ivory soap undergo expansion as the temperature rises.
The rise in temperature induces a chemical reaction that produces additional soap.

The most probable explanation for the expansion of Ivory soap when heated is:
**The molecules within Ivory soap undergo expansion as the temperature rises.**
This option accurately describes the general behavior of materials when heated; as temperature increases, the molecules move faster and tend to occupy more space, resulting in expansion.
