Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The condition that increases the solubility of the saturated solution needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The solubility of gas is affected by both temperature and pressure. When the temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the gaseous molecules increases. Due to high kinetic energy, the movement of gas molecules increases and intermolecular bonds between them breaks and they escape from the solution. This results in decrease in the solubility of gas.
When pressure is increased, the solubility of the gases increases. According to Henry’s law, the solubility of the gas in liquid is proportional to the pressure of the gas.
Thus, solubility of a non-reacting gas increases with increase in pressure and decrease in temperature. There is no change in the solubility of a gas on increasing volume. The increase in volume only increases the rate of the solubility but the amount of solute dissolving in the solvent remains the same.
