Question

The solubility of a gas in a liquid will increase as temperature decreases, but a solid’s solubility in a liquid will decrease as temperature decreases. Explain why a decrease in temperature affects the solubility of a gas in water differently than a solid in water.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:-

The solubility of gas in liquid increase with decrease in temperature because the solubility of a gas in liquid in an exothermic reaction . So, according to Le Chatelier principle for exothermic reaction, decreasing the temperature, the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction. So, the solubility of gases increase wuth decrease in temperature.
