Under which of the following condition, the gases does not follow Henry's law?
Options
- AWhen gases are placed under high temperature.
- BWhen the molecules of the system are in equilibrium state.
- CWhen gases are placed under extremely high pressure.
- DAll of the above
Correct answer
C. When gases are placed under extremely high pressure.
Step-by-step solution
Henry's law states that the mass of a gas dissolved in a given volume of solvent is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas in equilibrium with the liquid at a constant temperature. The law is valid only under specific conditions: the pressure should be low, the temperature should not be too low, and the gas should not undergo any chemical reaction with the solvent. At extremely high pressures, the gas molecules are packed closely together, leading to significant intermolecular forces and deviations from i
