How does temperature and pressure affect the solubility of gases
Accepted Answer
Effect of Temperature on Gas Solubility:
- Solubility decreases with increasing temperature for most gases in liquids. This is because, at higher temperatures, gas molecules have higher kinetic energy and are less likely to dissolve in the liquid.
Effect of Pressure on Gas Solubility:
- Solubility increases with increasing pressure for all gases in liquids. This is because, according to Henry's Law, the amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.
