Solubility of a Gas We have seen that the solubility of a solid increases with increasing temperature. How does the solubility of a gas change as the temperature changes? Using the evidence provided in this lab exercise, create a generalization for the effect of temperature on the solubility of a gas. Complete the Experimental Design, Analysis, and Synthesis sections of the report. Question What effect does temperature have on the solubility of various gases in water? Experimental Design (a) Based on Table 1, identify the independent, dependent, and controlled variables. Analysis (b) Use the Evidence to answer the Question. Write your response as a generalization. Synthesis (c) What assumption must we make about the dissolving of a gas in water for the solubility evidence to be valid? (d) Use your knowledge of the kinetic molecular theory to explain the generalization for the solubility of gas as the temperature increases.
