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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When gases are dissolved in water, it is accompanied by a release of heat energy, i.e., process is exothermic. When the temperature is increased, according to Lechatlier's Principle, the equilibrium shifts in backward direction, and thus gases becomes less soluble in liquids.
