Responses
As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and are more likely to enter the solution.
As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and are more likely to enter the solution.
As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.
As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.
As temperature rises, the space between liquid particles increases, allowing more room for gas particles.
As temperature rises, the space between liquid particles increases, allowing more room for gas particles.
As temperature rises, the space between liquid particles decreases, leaving less room for gas particles.

The best explanation for the graph is:
**As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.**
This statement accurately reflects the observation that as temperatures increase, the solubility of oxygen in water decreases, which aligns with the behavior of gas particles in a warmer environment being more likely to escape from the liquid.
