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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The dissolution of a gas in a liquid is exothermic process. Therefore, in accordance with Le-Chatelier.s principle, with increase in temperature, the equilibrium shifts in the backward direction.
Liquid + Gas `hArr` Dissolved gas `DeltaH = -ve`
Therefore, the solubility of gas in solution decreases with rise in temperature.
