At a constant temperature, the Henry's law constants ( K_H ) for...
At a constant temperature, the Henry's law constants () for four gases and in water are , , , and respectively. The correct increasing order of their solubility in water at a given partial pressure is:
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
According to Henry's law, , where is the partial pressure of the gas, is the Henry's law constant, and is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution (solubility).
At a constant partial pressure, . Thus, solubility is inversely proportional to the Henry's law constant ().
The given values are:
The decreasing order of values is .
Therefore, the increasing order of solubility is .
Answer:
At a constant partial pressure, . Thus, solubility is inversely proportional to the Henry's law constant ().
The given values are:
The decreasing order of values is .
Therefore, the increasing order of solubility is .
