Consider a solution of dissolved in water in a closed container. Which one of the following plots correctly represents variation of \log (partial pressure of in vapour phase above water) -axis] with (mole fraction of in water) -axis at ?







Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
B. 
Step-by-step solution
According to Henry's Law, the partial pressure of a gas in the vapour phase () is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution ().
The mathematical expression is:
where is the Henry's law constant.
Taking logarithm on both sides:
Comparing this with the equation of a straight line :
(y-axis)
(x-axis)
(slope)
(y-intercept)
Since for in water is a positive constant at , will be a constant intercept.
The plot of vs is a straight line with a positive slope and a positive y-intercept.
This corresponds to graph (2).
