Question

At room temperature, the solubility of which solute in water would be most affected by a change in pressure?

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a product derived from the reaction of different processes, such as: the combustion of coal and hydrocarbons, the fermentation of liquids and the breathing of humans and animals. It is also in low concentration in the Earth's atmosphere.

The carbon dioxide structure is made up of molecules of linear geometry and non-polar character. In addition, at room temperature, the carbon dioxide solubility would be affected if a pressure change occurred.

Answer 2

Answer;

At room temperature, the solubility of which solute in water would be most affected by a change in pressure?

Explanation;

• As the pressure on a gas confined above a liquid increases, the solubility of the gas increases in the liquid.
• Carbon dioxide gas is most soluble in water under conditions of high pressure and low temperature.
• The solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature, so the air space inside the cylinder when cold water is used will be less compared to warm water.
