4. Explain the effect of temperature on the solubility of CO2 in water.

The solubility of CO2 gas in water decreases as the temperature increases and vice versa

This is because when the temperature is increased the kinetic energy of molecules are also increased which leads to breakage of intermolecular bonds. And due to the breakage of bonds molecules are free to escape. Thats why the solubility decreases as the temperature increases
