I think D is right, humidity plays a big role too.

I’m confused about the humidity part. Does that really affect how much gas we need? I thought it was just temperature.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where temperature changes impacted gas density. I think it could be A or D.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed how halocarbon agents are affected by temperature in class.

I remember something about gas behavior changing with temperature, so I think the amount of gas might increase.
