Question
How does solubility of a gas in water varies with the temperature?
Advertisements
Solution
According to Charle’s law, volume of a given mass of a gas increases with increase in temperature.
Therefore, the volume of a given mass of dissolved gas increases with temperature, making it impossible for the solvent to accommodate the gaseous solute, which then forms gas bubbles.
Hence, the solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with increasing temperature.
