Why does the solubility of a gas solute in a liquid solvent decrease with increasing temperature?
? With an increase in temperature, the solvent molecules have less kinetic energy, so they collide with the solute less vigorously. That action facilitates the disruption of
particle-to-particle attractions in the solute.
? With an increase in temperature, the molecules have more kinetic energy, so it is easier for solute molecules to escape from the solution.
