1.

Explain the solubility of gases in liquids.

Answer»
  • Gases are soluble in water and other liquids and their solubility depends upon the nature of the gas.
  • Non-polar gases like O2, have less solubility in polar solvents. 
  • Polar gases like CO2, NH3, HCl, etc. are more soluble in polar solvent like water. CO2 forms H2CO3, while NH3 forms NH4OH in aqueous solutions. 
  • The solubility of gases in liquids increases with the increase in pressure and the decrease in temperature.
