I am very confused, I am taking a Gen. Chem class and I dont understand this concept.

It is evident that when temperature is increased, the solubility of gasses "typically" decreases. But I have recently learned that SOME gases show an increase in solubility when placed in an ORGANIC solvent. WHY???

I also need to know the "underlying molecular property that determines the solubility behavior"

Let me know...please.
