Solution

Dear Student ,

The dissolution of a gas in a liquid is exothermic process.Therefore according to LeChatelier principle,with the increase in temperature,the equilibrium shifts in the backward direction.

Gas + Liquid → Solution + Heat

Therefore the solubility of gas in solution decreases with rise in temperature.
