The correct answer as to which shaded area represent the most likely position of carbon dioxide after it comes to room temperature would be diagram 2.
The reasons are:
- Carbon dioxide is a gas at room temperature. Hence the solid carbon dioxide would have become a gas upon getting to room temperature.
- Molecules of gases move randomly until they become uniformly diffused within and take the shape of a container.
- The smaller beaker was not covered, but the large beaker was. Hence, the molecules of the carbon dioxide would diffuse uniformly within the larger beaker until they are in equilibrium with each other.
