Question
Which one of the following statements regarding Henry’s
law is not correct?
A.
Higher the value of $${K_H}$$ at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas in liquids.
B.
Different gases have different $${K_H}$$ (Henry’s law constant) values at the same temperature.
C.
The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
D.
The value of $${K_H}$$ increases with increase of temperature and $${K_H}$$ is function of the nature of the gas.
Answer :
Higher the value of $${K_H}$$ at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas in liquids.
Solution :
The solubility of the gas in liquids decreases with the increase in value of $$KH$$ at a given pressure.
