Best Answer

gas is more soluble in cold water. In hot water, the molecules are farther apart, leaving room for gas to escape. That's why it's LESS soluble, and why hot water makes clearer ice cubes. Cold water molecules are close together, trapping in the gas and dissolving it. We keep pop in the freezer so the carbonation will last longer.

One theory is that each gas molecule must compete with water-vapor molecules,

and the number of vapor molecules increases as the temp rises ...

until at the boiling point it becomes 100% vapor.

Because in hot water gases are released and the solubility decrease.
