Lesson: Chapter 3 — Mixtures

Gases dissolved in liquids 3 of 4

Question 3

The water solubility of a gas is decided by which two factors?

The right answer is the one marked above.

Temperature and pressure. Raising the temperature drives gas out of solution; raising the pressure of the gas above the liquid drives more of it in.

Both can be watched in one bottle: a warm fizzy drink goes flat faster than a cold one, and an open bottle faster than a closed one.
