According to Henry's law the partial pressure of the gas in vapour 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 `K_H` at a given pressure , higher is the solubility of the gas

B

higher the value of `K_H` at a given pressure , lower is the solubility of the gas

C

`K_H` is not a function of nature of gas

D

`K_H` value for all gases is same at a given pressure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`p=K_Hx`. Higher the value of `K_H` at a given pressure, lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid

According to Henry's law, the partial pressure of gas (p'_(g)) is directly proportional to mole fraction of gas in dissolved state, i.e., P_("gas")'=K_(H),X_("gas") where K_(H) is Henry's constant. Which are correct?

Partial pressure of a solution component is directly proportional to its mole fraction. This statement is known as

How is partial pressure of a gas related to its mole fraction?

According to Henry's law, the solubility of a gas in a given volume of liquid increases with increases in :

The vapour pressure of a pure liquid A at 300 K is 150 torr. The vapour pressure of this liquid in a solution with a liquid Bis 105 torr. Calculate the mole fraction of A in the solution if the mixture obey's Raoult's law.

State Henry's law correlating the pressure of a gas and its solubility in a solvent and mention two applications for the law.

STATEMENT-1 : Solubility of a gas in a liquid solution is a function of the partial pressure of the gas. STATEMENT-2 : Mole fraction of the gas in a solution is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas. STATEMENT-3 : Higher the value of k_(H) at a given pressure, the lower is the solubility of the gas in the liquid.

STATEMENT-1 : For solution of volatile liquids, the partial vapour pressure of each component in the solution is directly proportional to its mole fraction. STATEMENT-2 : Always there will be lowering of vapour pressure on addition of non-volatile solute to a solvent. STATEMENT-3 : If there is dissociation of non-volatile then the V.P. of solution increases.

The relative lowering of vapour pressure of a solvent by the addition of a solute is : 1) proportional to the molarity of the solution 2) proportional to the molality of the solution 3) equal to the mole fraction of the solute 4) equal to the mole fraction of the solvent.
