Effects of temperature affecting the solubility of gases in liquid

 Effects of temperature:

 In general, the solubility of a gas in a liquid decrease with increase of temperature. The process of solubility of gas in a liquid is exothermic in nature. It is because during the dissolution, a gas contract in volume and as a result, energy is released.

                        F
Gas + liquid  ---> Dissolved gas, ∆H _ ve
                      <---
                        B

As per Le Chatelier's principal, the increase of temperature favours the reverse process and thus solubility of a gas decrease with rise of temperature.
