Which of the following does not affect solubility of a gas in liquid?
Options
- ANature of gas and liquid
- BPressure
- CConcentration
- DTemperature
Correct answer
C. Concentration
Step-by-step solution
The solubility of a gas in a liquid is governed by Henry's Law and the physical properties of the solute and solvent. The nature of the gas and the liquid determines the intermolecular forces between them, which directly affects solubility. Pressure affects the solubility of a gas in a liquid according to Henry's Law, where solubility is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid. Temperature affects the solubility of a gas in a liquid; typically, the solubility of a gas decreases as
