Three indistinguishable soda bottles are employed in an experiment. Among them, one is retained at room temperature, another is subjected to cooling, and the third is subjected to heating. Subsequently, the bottles are unsealed, and balloons are affixed atop each to capture the released gas. The temperatures and corresponding outcomes are presented. The balloon on the bottle cap that is 2°C is blown up, but it is very small. The one that is 22°C bigger than 2°C. The bottle that is 44°C is bigger than 22°C. Which statement is true about the warmest bottle?

Question

Three indistinguishable soda bottles are employed in an experiment. Among them, one is retained at room temperature, another is subjected to cooling, and the third is subjected to heating. Subsequently, the bottles are unsealed, and balloons are affixed atop each to capture the released gas. The temperatures and corresponding outcomes are presented. The balloon on the bottle cap that is 2°C is blown up, but it is very small. The one that is 22°C bigger than 2°C. The bottle that is 44°C is bigger than 22°C. Which statement is true about the warmest bottle?
A. The most substantial amount of gas has been released into the balloon from it.
B. The least amount of gas has been released into the balloon from it.
C. The bottle that remained sealed initially held the smallest quantity of gas.
D. The bottle that remained unopened initially contained the highest quantity of gas.

GPT-4o mini · Answer

To analyze the experimental conditions and outcomes described, we can infer the following:

The temperature of the three soda bottles varies, with the first one at 2°C, the second at 22°C (which is 20°C more than the first), and the third at 44°C (which is 22°C more than the second).
The balloon on the bottle at 2°C is described as blown up but very small, indicating that very little gas was released.
The balloon on the bottle at 22°C is mentioned to be bigger than the one at 2°C, implying that more gas was released from this bottle compared to the 2°C bottle.
The balloon on the bottle at 44°C is also noted to be even bigger than the one at 22°C, suggesting that this bottle released the most gas among the three.

From these observations, we can conclude:

The bottle at 44°C released the most gas, resulting in the biggest balloon.
The bottle at 2°C released the least amount of gas, leading to a very small balloon.
Since the bottle that remained sealed initially should ideally have contained a larger amount of gas if it was not subjected to any changes, the highest initial gas quantity would correspond with the bottle that was heated (44°C).

Therefore, the correct statement about the warmest bottle (which is at 44°C) is:

A. The most substantial amount of gas has been released into the balloon from it.
