Why does warm soda go flat faster than chilled soda?

Question

A.
Gas molecules stay dissolved in warm soda.
B.
Gas molecules move slower in warm soda.
C.
Gas molecules move faster in warm soda.
D.
Gas molecules cannot escape in warm soda.
E.
Gas molecules stay trapped with the solvent in warm soda.

Answer 1

C. Gas molecules move faster in warm soda.

Warm temperatures increase the kinetic energy of gas molecules, causing them to move faster and escape from the liquid solution more easily. This leads to warm soda going flat faster than chilled soda, where the gas molecules are moving more slowly and are more likely to remain dissolved.
