What increases the solubility of a gas in water?

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.See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more


When a gas is dissolved into a liquid what happens when the pressure increases?

More gas dissolves into the liquid.


What changes gas solubility?

Solubility can increase and decrease with temperature variations and changes, Pressure can increase and decrease solubility with difference pressure variations, the nature of the gas and the nature of the solvent as well chance the solubility of the gas.


How does the solubility of a gas change with increasing temperature?

solubility generally increases with a temperature increase


Describe the changes in gas pressure?

The increase in solubility causes increase in pressure.


How can you increase the solubility of a gaseous solute?

Decrease the temperature, if aqueous. Increase the pressure.


The solubility of nitrogen gas in water with increasing pressure and with increasing temperature?

What are the impacts of temperature on gas?

The impacts of temperature on gas are manifold. Increase in temperature increases the gas pressure by increasing its volume. It increases the solubility of gas and vice-verse. The viscosity of gas also increases with increase in temperature.
