Ncert Exercises & Solutions

The value of Henry's constant, K_H is ......... .

1. Greater for gases with higher solubility.

2. Greater for gases with lower solubility.

3. Constant for all gases.

4. Not related to the solubility of gases.

(2) HINT: Use Henry's law.

Explanation: According to Henry's law

\propto

\Rightarrow

p = K_Hx

where , x is the solubility of gases.

As value of K_H rises as solubility of gases decreases.
