Solutions and Solubility

Question 4 • *STPSB_Environmental Science 2627

Which method would increase the solubility of a gas?

Answer
A
increasing the pressure
B
stirring the solvent quickly
C
increasing the temperature
D
decreasing the amount of solvent

Explanation

Increasing the pressure above a liquid pushes more gas particles into solution, so the gas’s solubility increases. This is described by Henry’s law. Stirring can help a gas dissolve faster, but it does not increase the amount that can dissolve at equilibrium; increasing temperature usually decreases the solubility of gases.
