उत्तर १
Henry’s law states that the partial pressure of a gas in the vapour phase is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas in the solution.
उत्तर २
- Henry was the first to give a quantitative relationship between the pressure and solubility of a gas in a solvent, which is known as Henry’s law. The law states that at a constant temperature, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas present above the surface of the liquid or solution.
- Dalton, a contemporary of Henry, also concluded independently that the solubility of a gas in a liquid solution is a function of the partial pressure of the gas. If we use the mole fraction of a gas in the solution as a measure of its solubility, then it can be said that the mole fraction of gas in the solution is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas over the solution.
- The most commonly used form of Henry’s law states that “the partial pressure of the gas in the vapour phase (p) is proportional to the mole fraction of the gas (x) in the solution” and is expressed as:
p ∝ x
p = KH . x - Here, KH is Henry’s law constant. When a mixture of more than one gas is brought into contact with a solvent, each gaseous component dissolves in proportion to its partial pressure. That is why Henry’s law is applied to every gas, independent of the presence of other gases.
