Carbon dioxide, CO₂, changes from the solid phase to the gas phase at 1 atm and 194.5 K. In the solid phase, CO₂ is often called dry ice. When dry ice sublimes in air at 298 K, the water vapor in the air can condense, forming a fog of small water droplets. This fog is often used for special effects at concerts and in movie-making.

State the direction of heat flow between the dry ice and the water vapor in the air.*

Thermal energy is absorbed as chemical reactions occur during the process of baking muffins. The batter for muffins often contains baking soda, NaHCO₃(s), which decomposes as the muffins are baked in an oven at 200.°C. The balanced equation below represents this reaction, which releases CO₂(g) and causes the muffins to rise as they bake. The H₂O(ℓ) is released into the air of the oven as it becomes a vapor.

2NaHCO₃(s) + heat → Na₂CO₃(s) + H₂O(ℓ) + CO₂(g)

State the direction of heat flow between the air in the oven and the muffin batter when the muffin batter is first placed in the preheated oven at 200.°C.*
