x Students are studying the behavior of a gas in a closed system.
They conducted this experiment.
1. Remove the end cap from the tip of a 35-mL plastic syringe.
2. Remove plunger from the syringe and insert a small marshmallow
into the syringe.
3. Place plunger back in syringe so the volume reading is
approximately at the 15-mL mark.
4. Place a syringe tip cap over the tip of the syringe.
5. Pull the plunger out.
What is the BEST description of what will happen when the plunger is
pulled out?
The marshmallow will expand because the
A
volume inside the syringe has increased.
