Question

On a warm summer day Mrs. camp placed some flowers in a zippered sandwich bag and sealed it with enough air to provide protective air space for the flowers. she then placed the sealed bag in the refrigerator to keep the flowers cool. describe what happened to the bag as it cools in the refrigerator. why does this happen?

Answer 1

The flowers undergo photosynthesis so it is expected to release O2. When you zip the flower in a plastic bag and placed it in the refrigerator, the plastic bag will shrink in size. The extra air plus the O2 in the back forms gaseous water. This gaseous water will slowly liquefy and when placed in the fridge, it will condense to form water solids.
