Question

The rate of solubility of gases increases with an increase in temperature.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Definition of Solubility - Solubility is defined as the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a specified temperature.

Temperature effect on the solubility of gases:-

• As the kinetic energy of the gaseous solute increases, its molecules have a greater tendency to escape the attraction of the solvent molecules and return to the gas phase.
• Therefore the rate of solubility of gases increases with a decrease in temperature.
• Example - soft drinks are stored at low temperatures to keep the gases dissolved.

Thus, the given statement is false.
