Accepted Answer

The extra solute will precipitate out

Question 12

Which statement is true regarding the solubility of gases in liquids as temperature increases?

Accepted Answer

Solubility decreases

Question 15

Why does soda go flat faster when left out in warm conditions?

Accepted Answer

The solubility of CO$_2$ gas decreases as temperature increases

Question 16

If a solution is supersaturated, what is likely to happen if a seed crystal is added?

Accepted Answer

The excess solute will rapidly crystallize out

Question 17

Which of the following best explains why solubility of most solids increases with temperature?

Accepted Answer

Increased kinetic energy allows more solute particles to interact with solvent
