How is the solubility of a gas in a solution directly proportional to temperature ?
Asked by Thomas Albin | 24th Apr, 2012, 10:04: PM
Expert Answer:
The solubility of a gas in a liquid depends on temperature, the partial pressure of the gas over the liquid, the nature of the solvent and the nature of the gas.
As the temperature increases, the solubility of a gas decrease.
The reason for this gas solubility relationship with temperature is very similar to the reason that vapor pressure increases with temperature. Increased temperature causes an increase in kinetic energy. The higher kinetic energy causes more motion in molecules which break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution.
