Solution

Correct Answer:

Directly proportional to the pressure of the gas

Henry's Law describes the behavior of gas-liquid solutions.

  • Definition: At a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas above the surface of the liquid or solution.
  • Mathematical Form: , where is partial pressure, is the mole fraction (solubility), and is Henry's Law constant.
  • Application: This principle is utilized in the production of carbonated beverages where is dissolved under high pressure.

This easy difficulty chemistry question is from the chapter solutions, covering the topic of henry's law. It appeared in the 2025 exam.
