According to Henry's law, what is the relationship between the mass of a gas dissolved in a solvent and the pressure of the gas above the solvent?

Options

  1. AThe mass of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure.
  2. BThere is no relationship between them.
  3. CThe mass of the gas is directly proportional to the pressure.
  4. DThe mass of the gas decreases with increasing pressure.

Correct answer

C. The mass of the gas is directly proportional to the pressure.

Step-by-step solution

Henry's law states that the mass of a gas dissolved in a given mass of a solvent is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas above the solvent.
