Chemistry Question on Solutions
The solubility of a gas in a liquid increases with increase of pressure. The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas.
A
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
B
If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
C
If assertion is true but reason is false
D
If both assertion and reason are false
Answer
If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Explanation
Solution
This is according to Henry?? law which states that the solubility of a gas in given volume of a liquid at a particular temperature is directly proportional to the pressure of gas above the liquid. m 8 p, m = kp where k = Henry?? constant.
