Question

Responses
A There is a direct relationship between pressure and volume so the chick will shrink.There is a direct relationship between pressure and volume so the chick will shrink.
B Whenever there is an increase in temperature there is an increase in volume so the chick expands.Whenever there is an increase in temperature there is an increase in volume so the chick expands.
C The gas molecules inside the marshmallow chick heat up vibrate, increase the pressure outward and the chick expands.The gas molecules inside the marshmallow chick heat up vibrate, increase the pressure outward and the chick expands.
D Increased pressure due to increased temperature results in a decrease in volume so the marshmallow chick will begin to shrink.

Answer 1

C The gas molecules inside the marshmallow chick heat up vibrate, increase the pressure outward and the chick expands.
