According to Henry’s law the partial pressure of the gas in vapor phase (p) is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas (x) in the solution for different gases the correct statement about Henry’s constant is
A
Higher the value of 
at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas
at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas
B
Higher the value of 
at a given pressure, lower is the solubility of the gas
at a given pressure, lower is the solubility of the gas
C
is not a function of nature of gas
D
value for all gases is same at a given pressure.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
higher the value of 
at a given pressure lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid.
