Which of the following is incorrect regarding Henry's law?
Options
- AGas reacts with solvent chemically.
- BGas does not change its molecular state in solution i.e., neither dissociates nor associates.
- CPressure and concentrations are not too high.
- DTemperature is not too low.
Correct answer
A. Gas reacts with solvent chemically.
Step-by-step solution
Henry's law states that the mass of a gas dissolved in a given volume of solvent at a constant temperature is proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid. The conditions for the validity of Henry's law are: 1. The gas should not undergo any chemical reaction with the solvent. 2. The gas should not dissociate or associate in the solvent. 3. The pressure of the gas should not be too high. 4. The temperature should not be too low. The option stating that the gas reacts with the solvent chemi
