Gases can't be stored in open containers because the gas will escape into the atmosphere. Gases have the tendency to occupy all the space that is available to them. If I have to explain it i would tell you to imagine molecules as small children who love huge spaces so that they can run around, gas molecules are exactly that.

Is burying the chemicals and containers deep in the ground right way of disposing hazardous materials?
No. Geologically the ground is an "open" system, groundwater and erosion will bring the toxic material back into the biosphere. Burying it is simply doing "out of sight out of mind" - which as you know does not solve the problem.
Gases become more soluble in water when which of these is increased?
Gases are soluble in liquids only when there is a constant volume. Take soda, for example. If you open the lid, it loses its carbonation and essentially becomes "flat." That's because CO2 is a volatile gas, meaning its natural state is in the gas phase. Gases, with their random movement, will eventually attain enough energy, through things like collision or increasing the temperature (like when the soda gets warmer, it gets more flat as well), to have the gases escape from the aqueous phase back into its more stable gas phase.
How can the rate of evaporation of water from an open beaker be decreased?
Place a lid over the beaker, and store in a cool place.
How does temperature affect the solutions of gases?
If the question means the solubility of gases in water then as the temperature rises the solubility drops. In other words the water will dissolve less gas as the temperature of the solution rises. This is true for Carbon dioxide (in fizzy drinks) Argon, ethylene, ethane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and so on Open a warm can of soft drink (soda) and compare it to opening a can from the fridge
When soda goes flat is it a chemical or physical change?
"is a glass of coke that goes physical or chemical change?" i think its chemical change. because, i think when we drink them..we cant bring them to their original shape..it will just pissed off m not sure but.. i think its goes widh chemical ^_ _ _ _ _ ^ "is a glass of coke that goes physical or chemical change?" i think its chemical change. because, i think when we drink them..we cant bring them to their original shape..it will just pissed off m not sure but.. i think its goes widh chemical ^_ _ _ _ _ ^

Could gas and liquids flow into a container?
Although they are both fluids, it depends on the type of container.Liquids can usually be carried in open- or closed- containers. Mugs and glasses (tumblers) are examples of open containers. A soda bottle with a screwcap or any kind of container that seals the contents against the atmosphere are examples of closed containers.Liquids carried in closed containers may need protecting from the atmosphere (brake fluid is hygroscopic and the container must always be sealed when stored) or it may be that the liquid gives off fumes (like ammonia) which may harm the carrier or the environment.Unless they are particularly heavy, gases are generally only carried in closed or sealed containers as they may cause harm to the environment.
