The pressure inside a closed sonochemical reactor evolves during sonication of a gas‐saturated solution. The pressure evolution is dependent on the nature of the dissolved gas: after a common increase during the first 30 minutes, the pressure keeps increasing under argon, stays constant under dinitrogen and decreases under dioxygen and air. The reasons for these observed pressure variations and their implications on physico‐sonochemical experiments are discussed in terms of gas solubility and gas reactivity of solutions submitted to intense pressure waves.
