Consider the procedures in a simple experiment used to demonstrate the behavior of gases.

Question

1. Remove the end cap from the tip of a 35-mL plastic syringe.
2. Remove plunger from the syringe and insert a balloon into the syringe.
3. Place plunger back in syringe so the volume reading is approximately at the 15-mL mark.
4. Using a finger, seal the the syringe.
5. Pull the plunger out.

Select ALL of the statements that help to explain what occurs once the plunger is pulled out.
Responses
A The pressure inside the balloon increases.The pressure inside the balloon increases.
B The pressure inside the syringe chamber decreases.The pressure inside the syringe chamber decreases.
C The lower pressure on the balloon causes its volume to increase.The lower pressure on the balloon causes its volume to increase.
D When the syringe plunger is pulled out, the amount of gas increases.When the syringe plunger is pulled out, the amount of gas increases.
E When the syringe plunger is pulled out, the volume of the chamber increases
