Which of the following statements is true?
a. in general, the solubility of a solid in water decreases with increasing temperature.
b. in general, the solubility of a gas in water decreases with increasing temperature.
c. the solubility of a gas in water usually increases with decreasing pressure.
d. the solubility of an ionic solid in water decreases with increasing temperature.

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The solubility of a gas is dependent on both pressure and temperature. When we increase the temperature for a gas, then its molecules tend to gain more kinetic energy.

Hence, there occurs more number of collisions between the gas molecules. As a result, intermolecular bonds tend to break down and the molecules of gas become able to escape out of the solution.

Whereas when we increase the pressure on a gas then its molecules come closer to each other. Due to which there will be more number of collisions will take place. Therefore, solubility of a gas increases with increase in pressure.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement in general, the solubility of a gas in water decreases with increasing temperature, is true.

a: 45.9 meters

b: 4.29 seconds

step-by-step explanation:

a: h(t)=1/2(-9.8)(3)^2+0(3)+90

h(t)=-4.9(3)^2+90

h(t)=-44.1+90

h(t)=45.9 meters

b: 0=1/2(-9.8)(t^2)+0t+90

0=-4.9t^2+90

-90=-4.9t^2

18.37=t^2

t=4.29 seconds

in the second question, the numbers aren't exact, but they're a close approximation.
