State

Most solids grow more soluble as temperature rises, while gases grow less soluble as temperature rises — opposite structural trends.

Show

A cold carbonated beverage holds dissolved carbon dioxide well, but warming drives some of that gas back out.

This solid-versus-gas contrast is a general trend, not a universal rule — some solids buck it entirely.
