Question

At same temperature oxygen is more soluble in water than hydrogen.which will have higher value of henry constant and why?

Answer 1

Hii friend,

Here is your answer......

According to Henry law,

"at constant temperature solubility of the gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.

P =Kh × C

where,

P=> partial pressure
Kh => Henry constant
c => solubility

As the solubility of the gas is inversely proportional to the Henry constant
$p \div c \infty kh$
The gas which less solubility will have greater Henry constant.

:-Hydrogen will have more henry law constant than oxygen in water.

Hope this helps you a little!!!
