STANDARD Chemistry Henry's Law MCQ Question
The value of Henry's law constant for some gases at 293 K is given below. Arrange the gases in the increasing order of their solubility. He : 144.97 kbar, H₂ : 69.16 kbar, N₂ : 76.48 kbar, O₂ : 34.86 kbar
He < N₂ < H₂ < O₂
O₂ < H₂ < N₂ < He
H₂ < N₂ < O₂ < He
He < O₂ < N₂ < H₂
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Higher the value of Kₕ, lower is the solubility of gas in the liquid. Therefore, the order of increasing solubility is He < N₂ < H₂ < O₂.
