What two things increase the solubility of a gas in a liquid?

Answer 1

Cameron Andrews

Temperature and pressure.

The solubility of a gas in a liquid will increase if:

Lower the temperature of the solution , and therefore, lower the kinetic energy of the gaseous particles so they can escape the liquid phase less often.
1. Increase the gas pressure above the liquid . According to Henry's law: #C=kP#, if the pressure of the gas above the liquid increases, the concentration of the gas in the solution will also increase.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
