Question 11

Why do gases always tend to be less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised?

Answer

The dissolution of a gas in a liquid is exothermic process.Therefore according to LeChatelier principle,with the increase in temperature,the equilibrium shifts in the backward direction.

Gas + Liquid  →  Solution + Heat

Therefore the solubility of gas in solution decreases with rise in temperature.
