Question 37 • Chemistry

Which method would increase the solubility of a gas?

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

Explanation

Increasing the pressure above a liquid makes more gas dissolve in it. This relationship is described by Henry’s law: gas solubility increases as gas pressure increases. Stirring can help gas dissolve faster, but it does not increase the amount that can ultimately dissolve; increasing temperature generally decreases gas solubility.
