One way to increase the solubility of a gas is to decrease the temperature of the liquid. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is usually temperature dependent, although it depends on the particular combination of which gas and which liquid. Usually the solubility of a gas goes down with increasing temperature (think of warm Carbonated Beverages going flat).
The other way to increase the solubility is to increase the pressure of the gas. The higher the pressure of the gas above the liquid, the more will dissolve. Again, think of a carbonated beverage: when it is sealed it doesn't go flat because it is under pressure, but when open to air, it will go flat.

Does the solubility of solute increase in hot or cold water?
The solubility of gas increases in cold water. The solubility of solid increases in hot water.
How does changing temperature or pressure affect the solubility of gas in water?
As temperature (of the solvent) decreases and pressure (of the gaseous solute) increases the solubility of gases in water will increase.
What happens to gas solute in a solution when the temperature decreses?
The solubility of gas increases as the temperature decreases.
The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent is called?
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a certain temperature is called solubility. The solubility of most solids in water increases with temperature increases.
How does carbon dioxide affect ocean water?
Temperature changes affect the solubility of CO2. Carbon dioxide is more soluble in ocean water due to the ocean temperature being low.
Does the solubility of solute increase in hot or cold water?
The solubility of gas increases in cold water. The solubility of solid increases in hot water.
What increases the solubility of a gas as it increases?
If you are talking about the solubility of gasses in a liquid then lowering the temperature will increase the solubility of the gas
When a gas is dissolved into a liquid what happens when the pressure increases?
More gas dissolves into the liquid.
What happens to the solubility of a solid in water as the temperature increases?
Although the solubility of most substances increases with temperature (eg you can dissolve more sugar in water when it is hot than you can in the same amount of water when it is cold) with gases the solubility decreases with temperature, so that cold water will hold more gas than the same amount of hot water. As oxygen is a gas its solubility decreases as the water temperature increases.
What happens to the solubility of gases with the increase in temperature?
solubility generally increases with a temperature increase
Can pressure affect the solubility of a substances in a solution?
Pressure can affect the solubility but the effect is not important.
The solubility of nitrogen gas in water with increasing pressure and with increasing temperature?
increases, decreases
How does changing temperature or pressure affect the solubility of gas in water?
As temperature (of the solvent) decreases and pressure (of the gaseous solute) increases the solubility of gases in water will increase.
What happens to the solubility of gases as the temperature increase?
solubility generally increases with a temperature increase
How does the solubility of a gas change with increasing temperature?
solubility generally increases with a temperature increase
How does the solubility of gas change with decreasing temperature?
It increases
How does the solubility of a substance change with a rise in temperature?
With a rise of temperature, the solubility increases
