At same temperature, oxygen is more soluble in water than hydrogen. Which of them will have a higher value of `K_(H)` and why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the question, we need to understand the relationship between the solubility of gases in water and Henry's law, specifically the Henry's constant \( K_H \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Henry's Law**: Henry's law states that the amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid at a given temperature is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the liquid. The relationship can be expressed mathematically as: \[ K_H = \frac{P}{C} \] ...
