Which statement is the best explanation for the graph?
(1 point)
Responses
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.
As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and are more likely to enter the solution.
As temperature rises, the space between liquid particles increases, allowing more room for gas particles.

The best explanation for the graph showing that oxygen solubility decreases as temperature increases is:
**"As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution."**
This statement accurately describes the relationship shown in the graph, where increased temperature leads to decreased solubility of gas in liquid due to the increased kinetic energy of the gas particles, causing them to escape from the solution more readily.
**"As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution."**
