Compare solubility of oxygen gas at 293K (KH = 35 kbar) & at 393K (kH =47kbar)

The solubility of gas decreases with increase in temperature. This is because vapour pressure increases with temperature. Increase in temperature cause increase in kinetic energy.The higher kinetic energy causes more motion in molecules which break intermolecular bonds and escape from solution. Therefore, O2 will dissolve more at 293K than in 393 K.
