In Step 1 of the investigation, the student adds CO2 to the flask at 20℃.

Choice Steps Taken Expected Result Graph
A.
Step 2: Turn on the hot plate to increase the temperature of the gas and record the resulting pressure.

Step 3: Repeat with different sizes of flasks to account for volume.

Which steps should the student take next and what would be the expected results?

A.
Choice C

B.
Choice B

C.
Choice A

D.
Choice D

PLEASE GIVE ME THE CORRECT ANSWER. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

What would happen next is that the pressure Inside the flask would increase according to Gay-Lussac's Law, which states that the proportion between pressure and Temperature are directly proportional, meaning if the temperature increases, so does the pressure.
