Use the equation below to answer questions . The
equation below gives the relationship between the
partial pressure of a gas Pg over a solution and its
solubility Xg (here given as the mole fraction of gas
dissolved in solution). k is Henry’s law constant and
varies with the type of gas and the solvent. The
equation is known as Henry’s law.
Xg = kPg
(i) According to Henry’s law, if the partial of a gas over a solution is doubled, its solubility is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsCHECK THE SOLUTION.
(i)
Sol. increased by a factor of 2
(ii)
Sol. does not react chemically with the solvent.
(iii)
Sol. 
= 
× 
= 8.6 × 10 –4 × 100 × 0.79
= 
× 
= 4.4 × 10 –4 × 100 × 0.21
∴ in water, 
= 
= 
= 
∴ 
= 
= 
(iv)
Sol. 
= 4.4 × 10 -4 ×100 × 0.20 = 8.8 × 10 –3
(v)
Sol. at high pressures
