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 may leave the solution.

Answer 1

The best explanation for the graph would likely be:

As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.

This statement aligns with the general understanding of gas behavior at higher temperatures, where increased kinetic energy can cause gas particles to escape from a liquid solution. If the graph is depicting the relationship between temperature and gas solubility, it would typically show that gas solubility decreases as temperature increases, supporting this explanation.
