Solubility

Question 2 • AA-F26 Physical Science

Which most likely represents the process of dissolving carbon dioxide in soda?

Answer
A
increased temperature to increase solubility
B
increased pressure to increase solubility
C
decreased agitation to decrease solubility
D
decreased pressure to increase solubility

Explanation

Gas solubility in a liquid increases when the pressure of the gas above the liquid increases. Soda is carbonated by dissolving carbon dioxide under high pressure, so “increased pressure to increase solubility” is correct. Increasing temperature would generally make less carbon dioxide dissolve.
