STANDARD Chemistry Henry's Law MCQ Question
According to Henry's law 'the partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase (p) is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas (x) in the solution'. For different gases the correct statement about Henry's constant is
higher the value of Kₕ at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas
higher the value of Kₕ at a given pressure, lower is the solubility of the gas
Kₕ is not a function of nature of gas
Kₕ value for all gases is same at a given pressure.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Henry's constant (Kₕ) is inversely related to solubility. A higher Kₕ value indicates lower solubility of the gas in the liquid at a given pressure.
