The statement that is not correct about gases is Gases are highly soluble in water at high temperatures.
Gases are not highly soluble in water at high temperatures. The solubility of gases in water decreases as the temperature increases. This is because the kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases as the temperature increases. The increased kinetic energy of the gas molecules makes it more difficult for them to be dissolved in water.
