Question
What is the effect of temperature on solubility of a gas in a liquid?
Solution
Effect of temperature on solubility of a gas in a liquid:
1. According to Charles’ law, volume of a given mass of a gas increases with increase in temperature.
2. Therefore, volume of a given mass of dissolved gas in solution also increases with increase in temperature, so that it becomes impossible for the solvent in solution to accommodate gaseous solute in it and gas bubbles out. Hence, solubility of gas in liquid decreases with increase in temperature.
Is there an error in this question or solution?
Solution What is the Effect of Temperature on Solubility of a Gas in a Liquid? Concept: Solubility - Solubility of a Gas in a Liquid.
