Question
which substance is most likely to dissolve in greater quantities in cold water? (1 point) potassium chloride - solid sodium chloride - solid sugar - solid oxygen - gas
For solids like potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and sugar, their solubility generally increases with temperature. But for gases like oxygen, solubility in water increases as the temperature decreases (cold water). This is due to the fact that gas - water solutions are exothermic processes and lower temperatures favor the dissolution of gases according to Le - Chatelier's principle.
