Generally speaking, what effect does temperature have on the solubility of gases in liquids?

As temperature increases, the solubility of gases decreases.
The solubility of gases in unaffected by changes in temperature.
As temperature increases, the solubility of gases increases.

Answer:

The answer is (As temperature increases, the solubility of gases decreases.)

Explanation: You have to think about the key terms of solubility and how gas can dissolve in liquids.

With the increase in temperature, solubility of gases in liquid decrease.

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Gases are soluble in liquid but it's solubility depends on temperature and pressure. As the temperature increases, the solubility of gases decrease. It is because with the increase in temperature, the kinetic energy of both the molecules of gas and the solvent increase. This leads to increase in molecular vibration and this makes the gas molecules escape the solution.

This makes the gas solubility vs temperature graph have a hyperbolic curve. As the temperature increases the solubility decrease and vice versa.
