(1 point)
Responses
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.
As temperature rises, the space between liquid particles decreases, leaving less room for gas particles.
As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and are more likely to enter the solution.

The best explanation for the graph is:
**As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.**
This explanation aligns with the observed trend that as temperature increases, the solubility of oxygen in water decreases, which is due to the increased kinetic energy of gas particles causing them to escape from the liquid phase more readily.
**As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.**
This explanation aligns with the observed trend that as temperature increases, the solubility of oxygen in water decreases, which is due to the increased kinetic energy of gas particles causing them to escape from the liquid phase more readily.
