Question

1. choose the best answer. carbon dioxide gas escaping a soft - drink can in the form of bubbles is an example of the effect of ____ on solubility. pressure stirring/agitation size of the solid temperature

Explanation:

The solubility of gases in liquids is highly dependent on pressure. When the pressure inside a soft - drink can is released (by opening the can), the solubility of carbon dioxide decreases, causing it to escape as bubbles. Stirring/agitation affects the rate of dissolving but not the solubility limit in this context. The size of the solid is not relevant as carbon dioxide is a gas. Temperature can also affect gas solubility, but the primary factor here is pressure change upon opening the can.

Answer:

A. pressure
