Answer (1)

The solubility of a gas is greatest under conditions of high pressure and low temperature, as these conditions maximize the amount of gas that can dissolve in a liquid. High pressure forces gas molecules into the liquid, while low temperature allows the gas to remain dissolved. This principle is demonstrated in carbonated beverages, which are bottled under pressure and chilled. ;
