During a science lab, two students poured a white, powdered solid into a bag. Then they poured a colorless liquid into the same bag. They closed the bag and noticed that bubbles formed and the temperature started to decrease. What most likely happened?
The substances reacted chemically.
The liquid went through a rapid phase change.
The student's hand was cold which made the substance turn cold.
Some of the liquid started to freeze, making the bag cold.
