Question

Select correct statement(s)
(A) Higher the value of kh (Henry's law constant) at a given pressure, the lower is the solubility of the
gas in the liquid
(B) solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases with increases in temperature,
(C) solubility of a gas in a liquid increase with increases in pressure
(D) The solubility of a gas in a liquid is governed by Henry's law​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Higher the value of kh (Henry's law constant) at a given pressure, the lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid

Answer 2

Solution:

Options B, C & D are correct.

Explanation:

• It has been found that the gas solubility in liquids increases with increase in pressure.
• Henry’s Law gives a quantitative relation between pressure and gas solubility in a liquid. It states that:

The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas present above the surface of liquid or solution.

• Gas solubility in liquids is found to decrease with increase in temperature.
