Solubility

Question 1 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Naomi has increased the pressure on a solution of liquid and gas in a closed container. What will this do to the gas in her solution?

Answer
A
increase the amount
B
decrease the amount
C
increase the temperature
D
decrease the temperature

Explanation

Increasing pressure makes more gas dissolve in the liquid. This follows Henry’s law: at a fixed temperature, the amount of dissolved gas increases as the gas pressure above the solution increases. So the gas in the solution increases in amount; pressure alone does not mean the solution’s temperature increases or decreases.
