Question

When a substance easily dissolves in a liquid, it has high solubility in that liquid. When a substance does not easily dissolve in a liquid, it has low solubility in that liquid. Solubility of a gas in water describes how well the liquid can "hang on" to gas, instead of releasing it into the air. Based on the results of your experiment, do you think that CO2 has a higher solubility in hot water or cold water? Why?

Answer 1

CO2 has a higher solubility in cold water

Step-by-step explanation:

The solubility of gases decreases with increasing temperature, the cold water will take up more CO2 and less will be escaping to the air. Furthermore, cold water is denser than warm water, causing it to sink.
