QJEEM19Ch7aba: JEE Main 2019 Chemistry - Class 12 JEEM19Ch7aba Solution: Which one of the following statements regarding Henry's law is…
Which one of the following statements regarding Henry's law is not correct ?
Multiple Choice Options
- A Higher the value of KH at a given pressure, higher is the solubility of the gas in the liquids
- B Different gases have different KH (Henry's law constant) values at the same temperature.
- C The partial pressure of the gas in vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
- D The value of KH increases with increase of temperature and KH is function of the nature of the gas
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
From Henry's law we know,
Pgas = KH xg
Where, Pgas = Pressure of undissolved gas
xg = Mole fraction of gas dissolved into the liquid.
KH = Henry's Carnot.
When pressure is constant then,
xg
So. when KH is high then xg or solubility of gas is lower in the liquid.
So, option (A) is wrong.
