You cook a Thanksgiving turkey. The little plunger on a turkey syringe pops out when the turkey is done cooking. Explain this behavior in terms of Charles' Law and gases.

A. Pressure builds up in the turkey which exerts a force causing the syringe to pop out.
B. Gases are formed as the turkey cooks, and they escape and cause the syringe to pop out.
C. As the turkey cooks, air trapped in the syringe is heated and expands, causing the plunger to pop.
D. The popping of the syringe is not because of gas but pops after cooking for four hours.

Final answer:

Boyle's Law explains the behavior of the plunger in the turkey syringe as it pops out when the turkey is done cooking.


Explanation:

Boyle's Law states that as the volume of a gas decreases, its pressure increases, and vice versa, under constant temperature conditions. In the case of the turkey syringe, as the turkey cooks, the air trapped in the syringe heats up and expands. This expansion of the gas inside the syringe increases the pressure, causing the plunger to pop out as a result.
