Abstract:
On the basis of the principle of which CO2 is absorbed by the solution of NaOH, the release amount of CO2 in soils under different vegetation was observed round the clock. The material shows that the release amount of CO2 from soils in Xi'an area changed clearly in 24 hours in months. The release amount changed from low to high and then to low from the morning to the next morning. The change of the release amount of CO2 was same that as the temperature, but the change of the former was about 4-6 hours later than that of the latter. The temperature was main factor determining change law of release amount of CO2 from soils and its rising and falling bring out the increase and decrease of release amount of CO2. The release amount of CO2 from soils was changing along with different vegetation. The forestry land was greater than grassland and the grassland was greater than the bare land in the release amount. The release amount was greater in day than in night.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
