Solubility of gases decreases with water temperature because the water molecules have less affinity for the dissolved gas molecules. So more molecules will leave the water than are entering it.

Conversely, solution of solids in liquids increases with temperature.

Why does dry ice change into a gas faster in warm water rather than cold water?

Molecules of carbon dioxide must absorb heat energy to change from solid to gas. Warm water contains more heat energy than cold water.


Why does a bottle of bubble water foam more upon opening when it's at room temp?

Bubble Water (Carbonated Water) contains Carbon Dioxide gas dissolved in it. The colder the water, the more carbon dioxide the water can hold OR ... The gas, carbon dioxide is more Soluble in cold water than in warm water. When you open the bottle, you release the pressure inside of it, and the gas escapes, causing the bubbles. If the liquid in the bottle is warmer, there is more gas trying to escape, thus you get more bubbles from a warm bottle than a cold one.


What is more dense cold water or warm?

cold ocean water is more dense than warm water


Do oceans absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide?

Yes, carbon dioxide is absorbed into the surface levels of the oceans. Because there is so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere the oceans are becoming acidic and this is bleaching coral and threatening the lives of small crustaceans who can't produce a firm shell.


Is carbon dioxide stored in plants and animals?

There are two very basic reactions that can be said to support life on this earth. One is photosynthesis, which happens in plants. In photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and water and convert it to glucose and oxygen. Overall, photosynthesis requires energy, gathered from sunlight. This energy essentially winds up stored in the glucose. Usually, the glucose will wind up being stored in more complex sugars and starches. The other reaction is respiration, which releases the energy from glucose. This reaction requires oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide and water. Plants and animals use this reaction to provide the energy that they need. So, anything that stores glucose or its more complex forms does store carbon. However, animals take in glucose and break it down, thus releasing carbon dioxide, while plants tend to absorb much more carbon dioxide than they release. Thus, both plants and animals do store carbon, but only plants will actually absorb carbon dioxide and store that carbon.

Why is carbonation greater in cold climates?

Cold water is able to absorb more carbon dioxide than warmer water . This means that in cold climates rain water dissolves more carbon dioxide from the air . The carbonic acids that form warm climates are stronger than the carbonic acids they form in warm climates . These stronger acids can cause more rapid carbonation . Carbonation is therefore greater in colder climates .

Where eocean waters absorb carbon dioxide water becomes more acidic which means the pH of the water is?

Lower.


What is the role of aquatic land system in reducing emission of carbon dioxide?

All bodies of water can absorb carbon dioxide; also aquatic vegetation absorb carbon dioxide. But the capacity of normal absorption is limited; if the concentration of carbon dioxide is too high water become more and more acidic and this strongly influence the life in waters.


What is being reduced that can absorb carbon dioxide?

Why do molecules in warm water absorb more sugar then the molecules in cold water?

the molecules in water have more energy and so will break down the solids quicker


How can carbon get from the atmosphere to the hydrosphere?

carbon dioxide dissolves in cold ocean surface water. The colder the water, the more CO2 can be dissolved.


Will cold water extinguish a fire faster than hot water?

Yes it will. This is because cold water has less heat than hot water and therefore can absorb more heat when put on the fire.


What is the natural reservoirs that absorb and store more carbon from the atmosphere?

Why aquatic species feel comfortable in cold water rather than warm water?

Fish survive better in cold water then in warm water because :- 1) Cold water has more oxygen and more oxygen means more microscopic life which means more food. 2) In Cold water there is more solubility of the carbon dioxide released by the fish
