Effects of Temperature on Carbonation

The video demonstrates how temperature affects the solubility of carbon dioxide in water using seltzer water. Three experiments are conducted with seltzer water at room temperature, in ice water, and in hot water. The video shows that carbon dioxide comes out of solution more rapidly in warmer conditions, producing more fizz, while colder conditions result in less fizz. The demonstration highlights the relationship between temperature and gas solubility in liquids.

What is the main factor being tested in the experiment with seltzer water?

• Temperature of the water

• Pressure of the gas

• Type of gas used

• Volume of the liquid

What happens when the seltzer water at room temperature is opened?

• No fizz is observed

• The water changes color

• The bottle remains sealed

• Carbon dioxide is released, causing fizz

How does the release of carbon dioxide in the cold water bath compare to the room temperature bottle?

• No carbon dioxide is released

• It is the same

• It is slower

• It is faster

What is observed when the seltzer water from the hot water bath is opened?

• The water freezes

• More fizz and a mess

• Less fizz than the cold water bath

• No fizz at all

What conclusion can be drawn about the solubility of gases in liquids from this experiment?

• Higher temperatures decrease solubility

• Temperature has no effect

• Solubility is only affected by pressure

• Lower temperatures decrease solubility
