How does the solubility of gases in liquids change with an increase in temperature, and what is the reason for this change?
Options
- ASolubility increases with increasing temperature due to the absorption of heat.
- BSolubility remains constant with temperature changes.
- CSolubility decreases with increasing temperature because dissolution is an exothermic process.
- DSolubility decreases with increasing temperature due to the endothermic nature of dissolution.
Correct answer
C. Solubility decreases with increasing temperature because dissolution is an exothermic process.
Step-by-step solution
The paragraph explains that the solubility of gases in liquids decreases with an increase in temperature because the dissolution process is exothermic.
