Question

Which substance is most likely to dissolve in greater quantities in cold water? (1 point) Responses oxygen (gas) oxygen (gas) sugar (solid) sugar (solid) potassium chloride (solid) potassium chloride (solid) sodium chloride (solid)

Answer 1

Among the options provided, sugar (solid) is most likely to dissolve in greater quantities in cold water. While gases like oxygen can dissolve in water, their solubility tends to decrease with lower temperatures. However, solids like sugar and salts generally dissolve better in warm water compared to cold. That said, dissolving sugar in cold water is more favorable than dissolving the salts listed (potassium chloride and sodium chloride) in terms of quantity, making sugar the best answer in this context.
