As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and are more likely to enter the solution.

Answer 1

As temperature rises, gas particles are moving faster and may leave the solution.

Reason: higher temperature increases the kinetic energy of gas molecules, making them more likely to escape from the liquid (so gas solubility decreases as temperature rises).
