At a given temperature and a constant partial pressure, the mole fractions of four gases , , , and dissolved in a solvent are , , , and respectively.
The correct increasing order of their Henry's law constants () is :
The correct increasing order of their Henry's law constants () is :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
According to Henry's law, the partial pressure of a gas over a solution is given by , where is Henry's law constant and is the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
At a constant partial pressure, is inversely proportional to the mole fraction , i.e., .
The given mole fractions are:
The increasing order of mole fractions is .
Therefore, the increasing order of Henry's law constants is the reverse of the mole fraction order:
Answer:
At a constant partial pressure, is inversely proportional to the mole fraction , i.e., .
The given mole fractions are:
The increasing order of mole fractions is .
Therefore, the increasing order of Henry's law constants is the reverse of the mole fraction order:
