Answer (1)

The solubility of a gas is greatest under conditions of high pressure and low temperature according to Henry's Law. Increasing pressure helps dissolve more gas, whereas low temperatures further enhance solubility. For example, cold carbonated beverages maintain gas solubility better due to these conditions. ;
