On the set of a movie, dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) is used to make the appearance of fog. After the dry ice is taken out of cold storage, it is placed on the ground. As dry ice warms, it converts from a solid directly to a gas. Gaseous carbon dioxide has a density greater than air, thus allowing it to move across the ground as if it were fog. Which statement best describes this process

- The dry ice is cooling the ground it rests upon as heat is transferred from the ground to the dry ice.

Explanation:

The above statement correctly elaborates the process of using dry ice to develop the appearance of fog. When the dry ice is placed on the ground, the heat of the ground is transferred to the dry ice. This will result in the increase in the kinetic energy of the CO2 molecules. Thus, the solid will directly convert into gas and it will lead to the formation of gas in the air. Since CO2 possesses a higher density, it will look like fog and thus, giving the perfect shot for the fog scene.

answer: a chemical reaction

explanation:

im not wrong

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.
