Which one of the following statements regarding Henry's law is not correct?
Options
- ADifferent gases have different K H (Henry's law constant) values at the same temperature
- BThe partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solutio
- CHigher the value of K H at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas in the liquids
- DThe value of K H increases with increase of temperature and K H is function of the nature of the gas
Correct answer
C. Higher the value of K H at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas in the liquids
Step-by-step solution
p = K H . x Where K H = Henry law constant p = partial pressure x = amount soluble Henry's constant increases with increase in temperature while it decreases with increase in solubility. Hence value of K H increases as solubility of gas increases is a wrong statement.
