Q1:Can more gas dissolve in a hot liquid than a cool one?

[Answer]
<

Some gases dissolve in some liquids.

A hot liquid can hold much less gas than a cold one.

Liquids under pressure hold much more gas than when they are not under pressure.

This is why, when you take the cap off a fizzy drink bottle, gas bubbles are produced. When lava comes out of a volcano the gas is expelled instantly, causing the lava to be blown apart and produce ash.
