Write Henry’s law, derive the formula and write its limitation. Explain the given question in detail.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the Henry's law - At a steady temperature, the quantity of a gas that dissolves in a particular form and the quantity of liquid is directly proportional to that gas's partial pressure in equilibrium with that liquid.
It is an equivalent way of saying the law is that a gas's solubility in a liquid is directly proportional to that of the par. It is denoted as -
C = kPgas where
C is the solubility of a gas at a fixed temperature in a particular solvent,
k is the Henry's law constant and
Pgas is the partial pressure of the gas
The limitation of the law include -
- The law only works if the molecules are at an equilibrium.
- It does not work for high pressure gases.
- It does not work during a chemical reaction between the solute and the solvent.
