Why do gases always tend to be less soluble in liquids as the temperature is raised?
Options
- AIncreasing temperature causes gases to dissociate into smaller particles, reducing their solubility in liquids
- BDissolution of gas is an exothermic process. As the temperature is raised, the equilibrium shifts in reverse d
- CAs temperature rises, the density of the liquid decreases, making it harder for gas molecules to dissolve.
- DHigher temperatures cause an increase in the polarity of liqu+ids, making them less likely to interact with ga
Correct answer
B. Dissolution of gas is an exothermic process. As the temperature is raised, the equilibrium shifts in reverse d
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (B) Dissolution of gas is an exothermic process. As the temperature is raised, the equilibrium shifts in reverse direction (Le-Chatelier's principle). It results in decrease of solubility of gases in liquid.
