At room temperature, a brass ball easily passes through the brass ring. Next, the ball is heated to a higher temperature. The heated ball does not fit through the ring
Why does the heated ball not pass through the ring?

A. Heating increases the number of particles that make up the ball.

B. Heating increases the size of the particles that make up the ball.

C. Heating increases the mass of the particles that make up the ball.

D. Heating increases the distance between particles that make up the ball.

im not exactly sure but i think its b!

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
