Gases in general are less soluble in liquids as the temperature increases (unlike solids, for which the opposite is true). This makes sense if you think about it: increased temperature means increased molecular motion, so a gas molecule is more likely to get kicked out of the solution and escape.

How the solubility of gases in liquids is affected by temperature changes?

When it is on movement it has more energy ---------------------- The solubilty of gases in liquids is increased when the temperature is lowered and the pressure is increased.


Does the solubility increase as the temperature increases?

Perhaps you mean the solubility of substances in water. Most solids have increasing solubility in water with increase in temperature, but certainly not all of them. Some solids e.g. Cerium Sulphate have decreased solubility in water at higher temperatures, while some solids show increasing solubility up to a certain temperature, above which the solubility decreases, such as Sodium Sulphate. The solubility of common salt, Sodium Chloride, is almost unaffected by temperature. Gases generally have lower solubility in water at higher temperatures.


How temperature affects a substaces solubility?

Increasing the temperature the solubility of solids in water is increased.


How does the solubility of gases in liquids affected by changes in temperature?

Generally, the solubility of gasses in liquids go up as the temperature of the liquid goes down.


Temperature affect solubility?

Heat is required to break down the bonds holding molecules together, meaning solubility is dependant on the temperature. The higher the temperature the quicker the process.


Why is pressure and temperature affects the sollubility?

Heat helps to break down molecules so the hotter the the solvent the the easier it is for the solute molecules to break down. Increase in pressure also increases solubility in terms of gasses.

What increases the solubility of a gas in water?

One way to increase the solubility of a gas is to decrease the temperature of the liquid. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is usually temperature dependent, although it depends on the particular combination of which gas and which liquid. Usually the solubility of a gas goes down with increasing temperature (think of warm carbonated beverages going flat).The other way to increase the solubility is to increase the pressure of the gas. The higher the pressure of the gas above the liquid, the more will dissolve. Again, think of a carbonated beverage: when it is sealed it doesn't go flat because it is under pressure, but when open to air, it will go flat.See the Web Links to the left of this answer for more


When the temperature of the gas increase do the molecules slow down?

No. As temperature increases, particle movement increases.


Why does the solubility of alkali metals increase as you go down the group?

Since atomic size of alkali metals increase down the group their electron loosing capacity also increases hence they form ions more easily and bonds with non-metals ,So when they dissolve in any polar solvents their tendency to form cations increases down the group so they form weak electrostatic bonds with solvent molecules .Hence their solubility increases down the group
