Multiple Choice

Dr. Jeff determined the candy + soda demo was a PHYSICAL CHANGE. Which statement is true?

1

Trapped the gas in a balloon and then poured the gas on lit candles. Since the gas caused the candle flames to go out, this proved the gas was CO2. Since CO2 is not present in the soda before adding candy, this proves a physical change took place.

2

Trapped the gas in a balloon and then poured the gas on lit candles. Since the gas caused the candle flames to go out, this proved the gas was CO2. Since CO2 is in soda before adding the candy, this proves that no new gas was produced and therefore, this is an example of a physical change.
