High temperatures are best to minimize the solubility.

Answer 1

The correct response is: Low temperatures are best to maximize the solubility.

In general, lower temperatures increase the solubility of gases in liquids. Therefore, during the production of carbonated beverages, it is best to maintain low temperatures to ensure that a greater amount of carbon dioxide can be dissolved in the liquid.
