Mr. Dixon filled a plastic gas can half full at the gas station. He left the can in the sun while he mowed his lawn. When it cam time to fill his lawn mower, the sides of the gas can were pushing out. He asked Mrs. Julius why this happened.

Which of the following was mostly likely her answer to his question?

a)

Since you left your gas can in the sun, it heated up the particles in the liquid gas and they began to move faster and spread apart and evaporate into a gas vapor. This gas vapor then had particles moving very fast which pushed on the sides of the gas can.

b)

Since you left your gas can in the shade, it heated up the particles in the liquid gas and they began to slow down and get closer together and evaporate into a gas vapor. This gas vapor then had particles moving very fast which pushed on the sides of the gas can.

c)

Since you left your gas can in the sun, it cooled down the particles in the liquid gas and they began to slow and come closer together becoming a gas solid. This gas solid pushed on the sides of the gas can.

d)

Since you left your gas can in the shade, it cooled down the particles in the liquid gas and they began to slow and come closer together becoming a gas solid. This gas solid pushed on the sides of the gas can.
