Statements: 1. The solubility of gases in liquids decreases as temperature increases. 2. According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid. 3. Gases become more soluble in liquids when the liquid is stirred or agitated. Select the correct statements:
Options
- A1 and 2 only
- B1 and 3 only
- C2 and 3 only
- D1, 2, and 3
Correct answer
A. 1 and 2 only
Step-by-step solution
1. The solubility of gases in liquids decreases as temperature increases. - As temperature rises, gas molecules have more energy and escape from the liquid, reducing solubility. 2. According to Henry's Law, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of that gas above the liquid. - Higher pressure forces more gas into the liquid, increasing its solubility. 3. Gases become more soluble in liquids when the liquid is stirred or agitated. - Stirring can enhance the rate at which gas dis
