Bob puts several pieces of dry ice inside an empty water bottle and covers the spout with a balloon. After 5 minutes the balloon is inflated. Elaborate on what process is occurringa. The expanding gas is exerting pressure and doing work on the walls of the balloon causing it to inflatec. The slow moving particles of the gas are transferring entropy to the expanding balloon causing it to weaken. b. Quick moving molecules of the developing balloon use the gas to create work and put energy into the systemd. Energy is converted to enthalpy as the compression dry ice particles occurs and the gas collides with other gas particles

    The expanding gas is exerting pressure and doing work on the walls of the balloon causing it to inflate.

    Explanation:

    "Dry ice" turns into gas in a process called "sublimation."

    This is what happens when Bob placed several pieces of dry ice inside the empty water bottle. The room temperature allowed the dry ice to undergo sublimation. It then transformed into gas which exerted pressure on the walls of the balloon as it is expanding. This is the reason why the balloon became inflated.

    So, this explains the answer.
