burst (explode) when it is left out in the hot sun?

B. Why do fish die in water that is too warm?

General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. 27

Solution
A. Why could a bottle of carbonated drink possibly
burst (explode) when it is left out in the hot sun?
The pressure in a bottle increases as the gas
leaves solution as it becomes less soluble at high
temperatures. As pressure increases, the bottle
could burst.

B. Why do fish die in water that is too warm?


Because O2 gas is less soluble in warm water, fish
cannot obtain enough O2 to survive.
